Make Life Easier with a Mango Splitter!

WEDNESDAY'S FOOD TIP

Splitting a mango is often a guessing game. The trick is to cut around the seed without wasting much of the precious fruit and ending up with sticky fingers.

Since we purchased a mango splitter several months ago we've been eating mangoes more often and have become quite fond of this luscious fruit.

The mango splitter from Oxo takes the guesswork out of splitting a mango and eliminates the sticky fingers. It works just like an apple corer (except you end up with 2 large pieces of mango while an apple corer usually divides an apple into ten pieces).

Once you've split a mango with this great little tool, follow these illustrated instructions for dicing the fruit (just use the mango splitter in place of Step 1). Then try this recipe for Mango Salsa from Martha Stewart's Everyday Food magazine.
