The Wonders of my Mango Splitter

A few months ago I got married, it was a wonderful wedding filled with love, happiness.....and lots of presents. :) My husband affectionally refers to all of our new things as a "life upgrade," and let me tell you, this life upgrade has been fantastic. One of the best things we received for our wedding is the OXO Good Grips Mango Splitter. This thing is AMAZING!!
In my opinion, Mangos are super delicious and kind of the perfect fruit. They are easy to transport, have an amazing silky texture and their ripeness is distinguishable by giving the outer skin a little press. The only drawback to this little tropical wonder is the extraction of the edible fruit from the skin and pit; it can be a real chore and I always end up savagely cutting the mango into an unrecognizable pile of unappetizing goo. That is until I received my happy little Mango Splitter from my lovely friend to celebrate my marriage.
If you click on the link below you can see that the Mango Splitter somewhat resembles an apple corer but with the pitter in the shape of the mango's tapered seed. Somehow this amazing contraption always extracts the mango seed perfectly no matter the type or size of the mango. You simply place the Splitter at the top of the mango (stem side down,) align the tool with the fruit and push down. The seed is separated from the rest of the fruit and you are able to enjoy the fruit without making a gigantic mess. I love this tool.
