Customer Reviews of Oxo Good Grips Mango Splitter
Customer Rating:  Summary: Speed in spittin out the seed!! Comment: 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 the size of the apple you can use. I can know eat my mangoes in bliss and not worry about gnawing at the seed and getting all those fibers stuck in my teeth - even if I did have fun leaving them in and driving people nuts when I spoke to them. Customer Rating:  Summary: It doesn't work Comment: This 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Good mango slicer Comment: I 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. I've eaten more mangoes this summer than ever before because I like using the slicer and I love mangoes. Customer Rating: Summary: What a gem Comment: My 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Good idea, not a great tool. Comment: 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--and takes up less space in the drawer. More Reviews 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. 
Choosing Appliance -> Spoons Buy stainless spoons (both slotted and non-slotted) which are solid and won't bend no matter how tough the job. Also, buy several high quality wooden spoons for stirring delicate dishes like risotto (the sharp edge of a metal spoon would cut or bruise the rice). Choosing Appliance -> Baking sheete Not too much romance here, but essential for any functional kitchen. Buy the heaviest pans possible. Also, you should consider buying a non-stick silicon sheet: they make baking very easy! Oxo Good Grips Mango Splitter
