Classic BS youtube engagement technique. Cant just be "hey fellas, here a way to cut avocados you might not have thought of!" It has to be "you fucking dipshits dont know what the fuck youre doing, heres the RIGHT way you god damn mongrel"
I am a self proclaimed professional Avocado cutter and what I do is go around the outside once and pull the avocado apart. If you need a whole avocado take the seed out if you need half or a less leave the seed in. Take the part that doesnt have the seed and hold it in your non dominant hand skin side down. Use dominant hand to slice through the avocade in whatever shape or size you want. You can do long slices, cubes, ect. Take a spoon or if you used a rounded butter knife you can use that and scoop out the avocado. This method is nice for a home cook because we arent always using the whole avocado so you can put 'the cap' back on the side that had the seed and the seed will keep it from spoiling as fast. I ran a restraunt for 8 years and our SOS instructed us to do it the way Josh is explaining, but I made sure my employees did it my way. A bonus is that if you do this correctly you wont get any avocado on your hand. Thanks for the content dude. Me love you long time
So what you’re saying is: “To cut avocados, go round the outside, Round the outside, round the outside.” I couldn’t help but cackle after reading your first sentence hahaha!
@@thebenjcrew why cut like that in the first place if you are fuckin pound em like that. Its like carving a wooden figure then chucking it in a campfire for warmth
My dad owned a mexican resturant and he would do it the first way. The thing is since mostly all the avocados were being used for guac he wouldn't need to chop/slice them, so after he took the pit out all you needed was a handy spoon to take out the avocado guts! lol
I cut them in thirds. Cut a finger width band around the middle. Gets 2 “halves” so you can still do boat presentations, but there’s no whacking a knife toward your hand to get the seed out. Then notch out the stem, peel the skin off the band. slice or chunk it & pop it off the seed.
If you’re going to mash the avocado do this: cut around the seed shortways, not lengthwise. Twist off the top part. Squeeze the bottom half to pop out the seed. Then use a spoon to scoop out the green flesh from each half. Takes seconds and soooo easy.
you could cut it half way, do your slices carefully while still inside the peel, scoop out with a spoon. easy and neat and how 99.9% of everyone else does it
At the restaurants I was at, we slice up the quarter with the skin on. Then we used the back of the knife to cut it into smaller slices. Use the back of the knife, we removed the slices from the skin. I have never worked at a restaurant in which we peeled the skin off the quarter before we cut it.
Well I mean it’s the one profession that literally everyone also does at home or the neighborhood bbq.. yes chefs are better then your average cook. The truth hurts but be one with the pain my friend it’ll sting a little bit less.
I'm Mexican and the average Mexican gets taught to Cut them in half, get the seed out, cut them from the inside like using a pencil then use a spoon to scoop them out. It's not the best method but it's super simple, really safe and quite fast, even kids can do it.
I used to work at Chipotle and we would go through 7-8 cases of 40-50 avocados a day. It was by far the most time consuming job for the prep team and we always did it the first way. I’m genuinely curious how much time we could’ve saved if we just used your method instead
None. Halve them all. Pit sides go in one pile. De-pit them all (with knife). Scoop them all. Mash them all. If you’re making guacamole in huge batches doubling the number of knife cuts and touches speeds up nothing.
Cut around, twist the halves apart, scoop out the avocado in chunks with a spoon. No need for slicing, unless you want neat slices. Saw Mexican chefs do this at a sandwich shop years ago. Been doing it since.
Working at Chipotle We did not peel the avocados. We cut them in half and then scooped them with a large spoon. Much quicker since you're going to mash them anyway. Doesn't matter if you cut them.
I’ve had people argue with me after showing them this over 20 years ago. Thanks for sharing that I wasn’t the inventor and there was validity to my claim.
All due respect to Josh, he has achieved a higher culinary career than I will, but just halving it, using the bottom of the knife to de nut it so you can thumb off the seed, then just using a spoon is probably easier. I have worked at a american-mexican place for 12 years.
I half and deseed it as shown. But then I keep it in the peel, take a butterknife, and make my slices (still in the peel). Then, take a spoon and scoop out the slices. You can even dice it like that too
Cutting them in quarters definitely makes them easier to peel. But I cut them in half and open them/ remove the seed first and then cut them in quarters.
I’m Mexican. We invented avocados. Once cut in half just use a butter knife to slice it with the peel on and just scoop it out, no need for a board. I’ll remember the pencil technique tho 🤌🏼
I use avocado for tuna tartare at work, and I've always cut it in half, and then diced it inside the shell using a spoon to remove it afterwards, it's a little dangerous at first. But now I can feel the inside of the shell with the knife and never go too deep
I feel like y'all are missing the point. This isn't "objectively" a better way to cut avocados. This is a more efficient way to cut and prepare avocados, in mass, for food service. If you're at home and just preparing a couple avocados for dinner, do whatever. But if you're in a restaurant and need consistency between a large amount of avocados, this is a good/better method.
I heard from the Mexican chefs on tv that they just break it open with their hands and the pit is just supposed to fall out. But I saw Sarah Molton do it this way, so much safer.
I cut into halves because they turn into tiny bowls. I sprinkle some flaky salt on each half and then use a spoon to eat them out of the peel. A great part of breakfast.
I do the cut in half method but then slice the avocado in the peel, using the peel as a backing layer for the knife and then scoop with a spoon, most definitely faster than what you just did
I cant believe ive been doing it wrong all this time. Phhhht! I half it, take out the pit scoop out avacado with a spoon and mash. Works quite nicely! Pencil neck!
I'm using it in sandwiches over the course of days, so I want as little surface area as possible exposed to the air so less turns brown, so the half-cut, left in the skin, and stored flat-side down in a plastic bag in the fridge is right for my use case.
Good technique, unless you plan to stuff the avocados, in which case, you should only cut them in half. You could score the peel to make peeling easier, without actually cutting the whole thing into smaller pieces.
Cut in half, take out the seed, scoop out with spoon. If you do it right then it should all come out whole. Dont know why i dont see more people doing this its the easiest, wuickest and cleanest way.
I really enjoyed this video, with the demonstration of a great technique. However, I really hate avocados. Keep up the great work with the videos you create.
When I make anything with smashed avocados, I do the first methods up to the point where the seed is removed, then I slice the avocado both ways in the skins and scoop it out with a spoon. Personally I think it’s easier to cause you don’t need to wash the cutting board and it makes the smaller avocado bits easier to smash. But what do I know, I’m not a chef
people peeling the avocado like it's a banana have y'all ever heard of a spoon? you dont lost any more avocado than the peeling method AND you dont get it all over your hands. cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, slice the avocado while still in the peel, then take a big spoon (table spoon/soup spoon) and scoop it out, clean quick and easy
I really needed this. I always cut up my avocado the wrong way before I smashed it up for guac. Now I can spend more time cutting the avocado nicely before I smash it up for guac. Thanks dude.

Worked in a restaurant, did the first way. It worked, it was fine, and it wasn't "wrong." Congrats on your clickbait engagement.
I do the cut in half method but then slice the avocado in the peel, using the peel as a backing layer for the knife and then scoop with a spoon, most definitely faster than what you just did
I cant believe ive been doing it wrong all this time. Phhhht!
I half it, take out the pit scoop out avacado with a spoon and mash. Works quite nicely! Pencil neck!
I love how people on RUclips who cook now call themselves ‘chefs’ lol
As a mexican I like this trick, gonna use it
So easy, but so brilliant!
I work in a traditional taqueria and if anybody was caught doing this they’d get laughed at, cabrone.
If you are doing it in a Restaurant it is because you are wasting time so that you don't have to do some other Sh!t work.

Bro if you're gonna insult in spanish at least learn how to do it, it's "cabron"

You're my hero, Joshua!!
I'm using it in sandwiches over the course of days, so I want as little surface area as possible exposed to the air so less turns brown, so the half-cut, left in the skin, and stored flat-side down in a plastic bag in the fridge is right for my use case.
Good technique, unless you plan to stuff the avocados, in which case, you should only cut them in half. You could score the peel to make peeling easier, without actually cutting the whole thing into smaller pieces.
Nate bargatze has killed “one fell swoop” for me lol
Cut in half, take out the seed, scoop out with spoon. If you do it right then it should all come out whole. Dont know why i dont see more people doing this its the easiest, wuickest and cleanest way.
I really enjoyed this video, with the demonstration of a great technique. However, I really hate avocados.
Keep up the great work with the videos you create.
Can you believe this guy just taught me how to cut avocados?
Nope. I've cut thousands of avocados by halving them. As well as millions of other chefs. Nice try Chef. Stop click-baiting people
Those avocados look so perfectly ripped
You can literally do the same thing with the halves after scooping them out with a spoon. That's what I've done working at restaurants for years.
Literally a wide spoon gets them out perfectly. Used to do it at work all the time.
When I make anything with smashed avocados, I do the first methods up to the point where the seed is removed, then I slice the avocado both ways in the skins and scoop it out with a spoon. Personally I think it’s easier to cause you don’t need to wash the cutting board and it makes the smaller avocado bits easier to smash. But what do I know, I’m not a chef
Well it's not the wrong way just a different way. That was such a bold statement on your end
people peeling the avocado like it's a banana
have y'all ever heard of a spoon? you dont lost any more avocado than the peeling method AND you dont get it all over your hands.
cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, slice the avocado while still in the peel, then take a big spoon (table spoon/soup spoon) and scoop it out, clean quick and easy
If you need slices. Cut in half. Butter knife to slice though and not break the skin. Scoop with a spoon and you have a half avocado sliced
