Cut, Pit, Slice and Scoop For Safe, Efficient and Mess-Free Prep

The latest addition is the NEW Microplane 3-in-1 Avocado Tool. A multifunctional high-quality, stainless-steel tool that splits, pits, slices and extracts the flesh safely and effectively.

The three key features are:

• The blade – specially designed to smoothly cut the avocado in half, and slice the flesh into strips or cubes without mess
• The pitter – the small teeth remove the stone quickly, easily and safely (compared to using a knife which can lead to injuries) with a simple twist
• The spoon – integrated into the blade – is contoured to fit the shape of the fruit and easily and thoroughly separate the flesh from the skin

Effortless, superior results

The ergonomic Soft Touch handle enables a good, comfortable grip. While dishwasher safe, a quick rinse under a warm tap is recommended and then stored safely in a drawer or hung from a utensil rack.

The multifunctional Microplane 3-in-1 Avocado Tool is a must for smoothies, sandwiches, salads and sushi, dips, nachos, toasties and tostadas (and everything else you can squeeze this powerhouse superfood into!)

Peter Morrell, Editor, commented “My household consumes one avocado a day on average, so the Microplane 3-in-1 Avocado Tool has been getting some heavy use.

“Cutting the avocado in half was a cinch, but it really started to perform when extracting the stone. I’ve known two people ending up in A&E after a knife slip when prising a stone out of an avocado. The 3-in-1 Avocado Tool is totally safe, a serrated opening grabs the stone, and it pops out with ease.

“Its other very neat function is scooping the flesh out of the skin, it’s quick and leaves the avocado intact for slicing or mashing. This new tool is a must for the well-equipped kitchen.”

Use all day long for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, and snacks

Rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, avocados are recommended as part of a balanced diet to help manage cholesterol. The fleshy fruit is also an excellent source of vitamins, antioxidants, folate and fibre and just half an avocado, counts as one of your five-a-day.
