The fab OXO Good Grips 3-in-1 Avocado Slicer is definitely one to add to your kitchenware collection. It has a range of functions that will have your avocado split, pitted, sliced and scooped safely, neatly and effectively in no time. The handle grip is super comfortable and the plastic blade does the job without being scarily sharp. Finish the job with the efficient fan blade which will scoop and slice at once!

Pssst - they tested 700 avocados in the process of this super nifty invention so we have faith that you will be impressed.

Why we love it:

Let's be honest, this TOOGOO Plastic Avocado Cutter is simplicity itself, and that's what drew us in in the first place. Simply remove your avocado's skin, press the Cutter on to the ripe flesh and bingo, you're ready to go. It's super easy to keep clean, too, which is a bonus, but it can go in the dishwasher, happily. 

Why we love it:

This Kuhn Rikon Avocado Knife got rave reviews from us, but also online, commended by some as the best tool in their kitchen. Not only is the design super cute and bright (there's no mistaking what it's for), but it's also really efficient with a non-stick and flexible knife, perfect for separating the avocado from its skin, scooping it out and coring. Then there's the serrated edge for cutting, too.

Why we love it:

Bag this Zdada 5-in-1 Avocado Slicer & Saver Set bargain and you'll be fully kitted out with literally everything your avocado could need. Use it to split open, pit with the edge of the knife, and then slice it with the other end. We love that the plastic it's made from is BPA free and reusable, and it'll save you using disposable sandwich bags or clingfilm to store your avo – as well as a whole load of effort. The mini appliances are easy to transport in the little container so you can enjoy gourmet avocado on the go.

Looking for something simpler than the buy above? Or perhaps a way to keep your half cut avocado fresh in the fridge? Well... how adorable is the Avocado Keeper Storage by APMAX? It looks like a little sandal for your avocado. With a colour-preserving pit, this avocado saver can reduce exposure surface and prevent the unused half from browning, so it can keep your leftover avocado fresh for a longer time (the straps enable it to lock out the air, slowing the oxidation process). Clever.
