THE WORST KITCHEN UTENSIL EVER
But that’s it. The avocado slicer doesn’t have much use beyond this point. And considering the highly specialized shape and overall
design, you aren’t going to get much mileage out of an avocado slicer unless you really, really love avocados. Sure, you can slice mushrooms, various soft fruits, and soft cheeses, but each item must be fairly small to accommodate the unique shape of the avocado slicer. There is, however, another tool you can use to get the job done. Call it the world’s best kitchen utensil — the chef’s knife. A good chef’s knife that is kept well-maintained can last a lifetime. It will slice and dice just about any food item you need prepped. All you need to do is a little research to find the chef’s knife that’s right for you. You’ll be glad you did.

The avocado slicer. Bon Appétit magazine called this kitchen utensil “the last thing you’ll ever need.” TV chef and host Alton Brown will scold you if you have one. And if you do have one, ask yourself this: Why? If you don’t have one, pat yourself on the back — you’ve saved yourself from one of the most useless utensils in the world. Okay, so what’s the big deal with the avocado slicer? Is it possible to turn this (barely) one-hit wonder into something worthy of your kitchen? We can try. Other than slicing avocados for the perfect avocado toast, here’s another way to put the device to work: The Egg Slicer Hard-boiled eggs can be difficult and messy to slice up for a salad or side dish. That’s why they make egg slicers, a first-cousin of the avocado slicer. But here’s the great thing about using an avocado slicer to prep hard-boiled eggs: the clean-up. Cleaning an egg slicer can be a kitchen nightmare, especially making sure every piece of egg is washed away. The avocado slicer, on the other hand, is a cinch to clean.
