Why I Love this OXO Avocado Tool
This amazing Avocado Tool was recommended by so many readers, after I shared about having an accident cutting up an avocado! And I’ve enjoyed using this simple avocado tool ever since, and I like it so much that I’m featuring it as one of my Kalyn’s Kitchen Picks!

I bought this OXO Avocado Tool on the recommendation of a reader, and I’ve been loving it! If you’re following me on Instagram you might remember the accident where I was cutting up an avocado and when I stabbed the pit the knife went into a natural split in the seed and right into my hand, clear to the bone! It bled like crazy and I ended up with a visit to the emergency room.
That was a wake-up call for me about cutting avocados and several readers recommended this OXO Good Grips Avocado Tool (affiliate link). I like kitchen gadgets, but I probably never would have thought about buying an avocado slicer like this if I hadn’t gotten injured. But so many people recommended this exact same one that I bought it a few days later on Amazon!
Why do I love this Avocado Tool?
I’ve used this multiple times since my avocado accident, and I’m loving it a bit more every time I use it. It’s really the plastic knife part of the 3-in-1 avocado tool that cuts through the skin and the little teeth that grab the seed (covered by the avocado pit in this photo) that I like most, but the slicing part is pretty cool too.
And since I’m so smitten with it, I decided to feature this avocado tool as one of my Kalyn’s Kitchen Picks, where I spotlight foods and kitchen stuff I love! If you’re someone who loves to cook with avocado, I bet you’ll love it as well.

I too love this avocado tool! I picked it up at BB&B years ago. I love how it makes perfect slices. We buy avocados from costco and add them to everything.
I don’t cook a lot, but I enjoy your posts. I do cook chicken often, and almost have the marinade recipe memorized!
Fun to hear from you Sue; glad you are enjoying the posts!
Immediately ordered! I'm another one who has come close to cutting myself. After reading your story, I don't need any other close-calls when cutting avocados. Thanks for the info!
Hope you like it Sarah!
Thanks, Kalyn! I just ordered mine. I have not cut myself, but have come close when jabbing the pit to remove it. No more worries with this great tool.
Hope you like it as much as I do!
Where can you buy this little gadget ?
There is a link in the post to order on Amazon.com and I think most stores have it too.
I have one of these. I bought it on sale at the grocery store. I think it's a wonderful item.
Fun to find it on sale! Glad you agree that it's a useful tool!
I'm so glad it's working for you. I scoffed at it myself but now it really is my favorite gadget.
Denise, seriously just a perfect little tool! Thanks again for the recommendation.
