De-stoning Avocados
Avocado stones can be difficult to remove cleanly. Run a knife lengthwise around the avocado so it is completely cut in half lengthways. Twist the two halves in opposite directions so that you are left with two avocado halves – one with the stone in.
Holding the stoned half of the avocado firmly in your hand and being very careful, chop down sharply on the stone with a medium sized knife. Ths will result in the knife being firmly wedged in the avocado stone. Now, whilst still holding the avocado firmly, twist the knife and it will smoothly remove the avocado stone leaving you with two perfect halves.
