Editorial Review: Product Description: A Mango is a sweet, delicious fruit. It can be difficult to peel and slice, however. Traditionally cooks instruct people that the following steps should be followed to open a Mango - Cut off the stem of the mango; Hold the fruit upright, cupping it in the palm of your hand; With the other hand, use a potato peeler or a paring knife to cut away the peel, following the curves of the fruit; Lay the fruit on its flat end and slice lengthwise, working around the flat seed in the middle. Cut the fruit into thin slices as desired.; Stand the mango upright or otherwise move around to carve away the remaining flesh surrounding the seed. OR you can use the Oxo Good Grips Mango Splitter. Amazon.com Review: There's nothing as luscious as a ripe mango. Growing in popularity, mangoes are now available in many stores year-round and can be eaten fresh, cubed into salads, or sliced and baked on top of chicken breasts. Helping prepare the fruit for eating is this ingenious mango splitter from OXO. The splitter is a circular white plastic device with sharp stainless-steel blades in the center and OXO's signature black comfort handles on two sides. Holding both handles, the user pushes the blades down through the mango from the top, separating the seed from two halves of mango. The flesh can then be cubed or sliced off the skin on those two halves. After the prep work, the mango splitter slips right into the dishwasher for hassle-free cleaning. --Ann Bieri Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Speed in spittin out the seed!!That's what I call fast seeding. It looks a bit strange, but it really does cut the flesh around the seed of the mango. There is a little bit of waste, but far less than when I had been doing it manually with a knife. And who likes to eat it straight off the seed - it's so messy and slippery!! I have launched a couple this way. For larger mangoes with bigger seeds, it did end up cutting through part of the seed, but it's the same with any type of slicer. Apple corer/slicers have a limit to ... Read More Rating:  - It doesn't workThis tool doesn't work. It mashes the fruit instead of cutting it. If the mango was able to stand up to this cutter, it would be too green to eat. Save your money and use a sharp knife. Rating: - Good mango slicerI like this product alot. It makes mango slicing easy. I've used it quite a few times since I got it. For smaller mangoes, it leaves more fruit on the seed. In the America's test kitchen review they said they didn't run into a mango large or small that they couldn't cut but I just ran into a mango I had trouble slicing at all with the slicer. Its seed was tilted and I couldn't quite get it to cut. But on the whole, it's worked great. Also I use it after I peel the mango and slice a flat bottom. ... Read More Rating: - What a gemMy mango experiences in the past have not been good. The liitle buggers are hard to hang onto, especially after the first slice. I never seem to make cuts in the fruit in the correct place to get the most fruit but without the pit. Consequently, I rarely bought mangos. I recently bought the mango splitter and had no problems with the mango. What a gem. Rating: - Good idea, not a great tool.Gave this a try last time I made mango salsa...it's simple enough, but it takes longer to line up the tool and push down than to make 2 cuts with a chef's knife. In theory, the contoured blade saves more flesh off the edges of the pit; depending on the size/shape of each pit and the ripeness of the fruit, though, the tool leaves too much behind on the sides of the pit, and gives the split halves a ragged, concave shape. A sharp chef's knife is a faster, neater tool for mangos ... Read More |
