What in the world is THAT thing for? How do I use it?
It's an avocado slicer. It works to both scoop the avocado out of the skin and slice it simultaneously. First you have to cut the avocado in half and carefully remove the pit, then use this tool to remove the soft flesh of the avocado.
Avocados, considered a fruit, are rich in potassium as well as B vitamins. Another health benefit is that avocados have been shown to lower blood serum cholesterol levels.
Most recognized recipe using avocados is guacamole. They are also used sliced in salads and mashed as a sandwich spread.

Dear SerialBaker, love your post on avocado, and definitely have to get my hands on a slicer like the one in your photo. I lived in San Diego, next to Mexico and became really fond of quacamole! This site was such a pleasure to visit. Well presented, clean, clear and beautiful photos. I shall be returning for another delicious bite. Thank you for sharing,
Cheers, Gaby
