Hell no! I will never remove the pit any way besides slapping a knife into the pit and twisting it out.

peeling the avocado skin? i’m a believer in scoring rectangular sections, and then scooping that out with a spoon

Or just squeeze it open. No knife and funner. Also if it is not ripe it doesn’t work.

I need the 1/50 to not include inexperienced cutters 😒 I doubt it's that high for people who routinely cut avocados and other vegetables/fruits.

This literally happened to me today. I usually just give the avocado a little squeeze and tip it over to get the seed out when making guac, but one wasn’t quite ripe enough.
