The Avo Saver

icyfroth — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 06:31:56 GMT

Time for a new topic I'm sick of the constantly regurgitated ones.

I eat lots of avocados, at least 4-5 a week. Sometime I just use a half one on toast for breakfast. The other half I just put in a lidded plastic dish in the fridge, no worries, but then I found this little item at a well-known supermarket recently:

Looks a bit like a duck's sandal :^O

Icy, lol!!..... I just wrap my half avocados in tin foil and put them in the fridge....... I leave the seed in too, I think that helps to preserve the avocado!....... Is that little harness for half an avocado?

I see that it is for half an avocado!!.....I guess if the seed is too big you just remove it!!

Nah it's got an indentation for the seed, Vin.

You have to keept the seed in to stop the avo from oxidising. Going brown, lol. Here's a better pic:

Do they work? I LOVE avocado but they are so expensive I don't eat them that much, but I love them on toasted english muffins, guacamole, or on chicken burgers

I was wondering the other day how long a cut avocado will keep. One day, one week? I am thinking of using them as a spread.

I was wondering if the indent for the seed would be big enough for all seeds or most seeds!!..... Lol!!.... Did you buy one Icy?

I have one of those and it works quite well. It will keep the avocado fresh and stop it from going brown for a day or two. More so than just wrapping it.

I think I got mine in Coles but it was a while ago. I'm pretty sure Woolies had them too.

I put them cut side down (seed taken out) on moist paper towel on a plate and cover with glad wrap and store in the fridge. They last really well like that.

I have seen those to, and wondered if they would be any good, or just another plastic thing to wash.

I usually put the left over half in alum foil in the fridge but tend to forget about it and it gets past it.

Woolies have them and you will find them in the Fruit and Veg section.

MMM I love avocados, I'll keep an eye out for one of those things Icy

we use them as a spread, in salads , with chicken and my lot even just cut them in half, take out the stone and pour in salad dressing or lemon juice with pepper and just spoon them out.

They seem to be coming into season here, the price has been dropping, but gosh tomatoes are expensive here ATM 😮

There is a shortage of tomatoes due to bad growing conditions in QLD, they are expensive here too.

I saw a sign in a cafe (one that makes sandwiches) saying they may not always have tomatoes available.
