I'm not a fan of kitchen "gadgets" beyond a
very good knife and maybe a melon baller when necessary (but then, when is a melon baller every necessary?), but this avocado
slicer from Williams-Sonoma really piques my interest.
I always just do the old wrenching-out of the pit, making longitudinal slices, then scooping out the flesh with a large spoon, but this might be helpful for those of us who want to make pretty, presentable uniform slices or dices of avocado. The tool also pits the avocado, but I can't tell how it does it from the picture.
It's $15.
