 It Works!Apr 14, 2006
By Eric Eskin
Always avoided buying Mangos because of the hassle cutting them. Noticed this tool on Amazon and decided to give it a try (although I did not expect it to work). The design is quite ingenious. The cutting blade is flexible enough to "hug" the pit and cut the fruit away. I would highly recommend.

A long time comingAug 11, 2005
By Justin M. Park
This little invention I just bought cuts out a lot of mango and a lot of BS. I pay about $1.50 per mango, so losing flesh in cutting the things up is like a punch in the throat. Mangoes are well connected to their skin and seed, making it hard not to waste or at least end up with a million little hacked off pieces and cut up hands.
I didn't give it 5 stars simply because there is still a small bit of waste, but given the stubborn nature of the mango, that's inevitable. Someday someone will breed a mango that just pops away from the seed like a peach.
There's a slight learning curve on the tool, but I got it on my first try. I doesn't look like it should work but it does. Amazing and rewarding the first time you use it and have two robust shoulders taken off the seed.

Works quite well for medium to somewhat large mangoesDec 16, 2005
By Pimpernel Sandybanks
"Jeff"
I agree with the earlier poster that this device allows you to make mango salsa much faster. Yes there is still a little cutting to get meat off the seed, but most of the work is done instantly and painlessly.
Pros:
Makes seeding a mango almost instant
Cons:
I don't know what I'll do when this device eventually dulls (sharpening it will be difficult)
It doesn't handle the largest sizes of mangoes

Hairy pitsJun 20, 2006
By Joanna Daneman
The problem with mangos is that the pit is well-secured inside the fruit by a pit with long, tough fibers attached. The pit is an inconvenient flat oblong, slippery under the knife. However, if you admire the "peach soaked in turpentine" exotic taste (and I certainly do) you might wonder if there isn't some way to cut out the flesh of the mango without a long, hard struggle.
This device is positioned over the mango like an apple corer, allowing you to cut the fibers around the pit and release it from (most) of the meat. While there is still some waste, and while mangos and their pits vary in size, this is pretty good.
It certainly beats my current method of mango preparation, which is to slice along side of the pit, making two shallow halves. I dice the fruit inside the hull and slice it off that tough skin with a knife positioned flat along the skin. I get cubes of mango, and then I either try to trim the pit or I nibble it as a cook's tidbit.
This cutter is faster by far than my old method and a lot neater. Big thumbs up to OXO for figuring this out.

Mango Salsa So FastNov 19, 2005
By Island Cook
Just what we didn't need was another kitchen gadget, but this one made sense and it really works.
Mangoes are becoming ever more popular and available at most markets year around. The downside is that it is difficult to separate the flesh from the seed. It usually results in a mashed mango using traditional methods.
The OXO Mango Splitter makes it foolproof to quickly and easily split the fruit while simultaneously removing the hard seed.
So much better for making massive amounts of Mango Salsa!
