It's easy!\nBy\nElise Bauer\nElise founded Simply Recipes in 2003 and led the site until 2019. She has an MA in Food Research from Stanford University.\nUpdated October 29, 2025\nElise Bauer\nWhy Make This\nThis step-by-step guide teaches you how to cut and peel an avocado safely and quickly.  \nChoose from several safe methods to remove the pit, including using a spoon or a kitchen towel.  \nI once observed the mother of a dear friend of mine meticulously peel an avocado whole, and then cut pieces off of it to use in a salad. I hate to say there is ever any \"wrong\" way to do something; there are, as we know, many paths to Rome. But, the following method is easier, faster, and much less messy.\nBy the way, if you are buying avocados to prepare a\nguacamole\ndip, get them either ripe, with some give to the touch, or get them still firm, a few days ahead of when they are needed, and put them in a brown paper bag to ripen.\nKeep Screen Awake\n1\nmedium\navocado\nGrip the avocado gently on one side with one hand. With a large,\nsharp knife\nin the other hand, cut the avocado lengthwise around the seed. Open the two halves to expose the pit.\nElise Bauer\nElise Bauer\n2a\nAt this point there are a few ways you can proceed to remove the pit from the avocado half that has the pit. One way is to use a spoon to scoop out the pit.\nOne way is to make another cut, lengthwise on the avocado half that has the pit, cutting around the pit, exposing it so that it is easier to remove.\nElise Bauer\nElise Bauer\n2b\nAnother method is a bit tricky, as you'll see. This method is very popular, but you must be careful lest you cut your hand. For safety, fold up a kitchen towel and use that to hold the avocado half with the pit.\nGently tap the pit with a knife with enough force so that the knife edge wedges into the pit, but not so hard as to cut all the way through it. If unsure, just tap it very gently a few times, each time with increasing pressure, until a cut is made in the pit sufficiently to twist the pit out. Getting the pressure just right takes a little practice.\nElise Bauer\nElise Bauer\nWith the edge of the knife, twist the pit out of the avocado and discard.\n3a\nAt this point, you can either scoop out the avocado flesh with a spoon (for making\nguacamole\n), or slice the avocado into segments.\nTo make it more easy to scoop out the avocado flesh, take a knife (you can easily use a dull dinner knife) and gently make cuts in the avocado flesh in a cross-hatch pattern, careful not to break through the avocado peel. Then use a spoon to easily scoop out the avocado pieces.\nElise Bauer\nElise Bauer\nIf you are making guacamole, don't worry about slightly discolored or brownish sections. Scoop them up with the rest of the avocado to mash.\n3b\nTo make avocado slices, use a knife to slice the inside of the avocado halves into sections. Don't worry if you cut right through the peel.\nElise Bauer\nUse your fingers to separate the avocado segments from the peel.\nElise Bauer\nElise Bauer\nDid you love this guide?

I once observed the mother of a dear friend of mine meticulously peel an avocado whole, and then cut pieces off of it to use in a salad. I hate to say there is ever any "wrong" way to do something; there are, as we know, many paths to Rome. But, the following method is easier, faster, and much less messy. By the way, if you are buying avocados to prepare a [guacamole](https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/perfect_guacamole/) dip, get them either ripe, with some give to the touch, or get them still firm, a few days ahead of when they are needed, and put them in a brown paper bag to ripen. Keep Screen Awake - 1 medium avocado 1. Grip the avocado gently on one side with one hand. With a large, [sharp knife](https://www.simplyrecipes.com/how-to-sharpen-a-knife-honing-vs-sharpening-5207575) in the other hand, cut the avocado lengthwise around the seed. Open the two halves to expose the pit. Elise Bauer Elise Bauer 2a At this point there are a few ways you can proceed to remove the pit from the avocado half that has the pit. One way is to use a spoon to scoop out the pit. One way is to make another cut, lengthwise on the avocado half that has the pit, cutting around the pit, exposing it so that it is easier to remove. Elise Bauer Elise Bauer 2b Another method is a bit tricky, as you'll see. This method is very popular, but you must be careful lest you cut your hand. For safety, fold up a kitchen towel and use that to hold the avocado half with the pit. Gently tap the pit with a knife with enough force so that the knife edge wedges into the pit, but not so hard as to cut all the way through it. If unsure, just tap it very gently a few times, each time with increasing pressure, until a cut is made in the pit sufficiently to twist the pit out. Getting the pressure just right takes a little practice. Elise Bauer Elise Bauer With the edge of the knife, twist the pit out of the avocado and discard. 3a At this point, you can either scoop out the avocado flesh with a spoon (for making [guacamole](https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/perfect_guacamole/)), or slice the avocado into segments. To make it more easy to scoop out the avocado flesh, take a knife (you can easily use a dull dinner knife) and gently make cuts in the avocado flesh in a cross-hatch pattern, careful not to break through the avocado peel. Then use a spoon to easily scoop out the avocado pieces. Elise Bauer Elise Bauer If you are making guacamole, don't worry about slightly discolored or brownish sections. Scoop them up with the rest of the avocado to mash. 3b To make avocado slices, use a knife to slice the inside of the avocado halves into sections. Don't worry if you cut right through the peel. Elise Bauer 2. Use your fingers to separate the avocado segments from the peel. Elise Bauer Elise Bauer Did you love this guide? Give us some stars and leave a comment below\!
