Feeling a little inadequate?

Or, you know, use a spoon.

If one really feels the need to use the knife method, couldn't you just put the Avocado on a cutting board, steady it with one hand, and knife it with the other?

You definitely could. You honestly don't even need to steady it. I worked as a prep cook for a while and the way they taught us to pit the avocado was to set it down on a cutting board and use a knife. You'll ruin less of the flesh that way, too. Just a short, hard whack with a knife to sink it in decently then a quick turn to free the pit. There 100% was a guy who stabbed through his own hand though.

you can just use a knife normally while holding it too without risk of injurying yourself if you aren't a dumbass

yeah or hold the avocado half with a towel or oven mitt, if you are so nervous or lacking in dexterity that there is a chance you could injure yourself doing a very basic kitchen move

There's a few options between "use a spoon" and "stab a knife towards your palm as hard as you can" when it comes to coring an avocado. Seems like it would take actual effort to injure yourself in the process.

Also holding one in your clenched fist and then placing both under a 1 ton press does the trick as well, with the added bonus of no sharp blades cause those are scary.

That's a photoshop, right? No one could be that dumb.

Oh God, she is, right? Is he the cousin of the guy who put his hands in the blender to see if the fans were working. Maybe daughter of that woman who decided to check with her head if the water was heating up.

yup people are that dumb

my friend came over for the superbowl this year and brought a bunch of avocados to make guacamole with and when I look over he's removing the pits exactly like this; jabbing them with a steak knife while holding it exactly like this picture

I'm like "DUDE STOP WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!?" and he says "I'm getting the pit out, this is how my grandma taught me to do it" and so I showed him both this picture and the proper way to do it before he ended up like like this with a knife through his hand.

he was loving stabbing too, I heard him growling because he couldn't the tip of the knife in good enough.

you dont stab the pit, you whack it with the long edge of the knife

i probably pitted 10,000 avocados making guacamole in college, every single one of them with a light tap of a sharp knife
