The proper technique is you use a heavier knife and whack it laterally into the pit, twist, and just pop it out. Instead of whatever badly-advised lever action that person was attempting.

As someone else who has worked in a kitchen
I'm having a fun braingasm thinking about old job mishaps now, but is that really something proper OSHA guidelines could have prevented? Every kitchen worker that encounters Avocados gets taught to core them(a light chop into the soft stone) it's nowhere near the powerful stab that wound required. Wasn't that guy going to impale his hand on something? I feel like (rightfully) nobody would award me paid leave or workman's comp for this.

sucks to be right
Are avocado seeds so easy to cut that someone could accidentally stab all the way through it? Or was this particular knife just so amazingly sharp that it turned into a vorpal blade? The only other scenario I can think of is that the 'chef' stabbed the knife into the avocado pip a few eighths of an inch and for some reason tried to drive it in further by turning it all upside down and hammering the handle of the knife against the bench.

It looks like they missed the seed itself, and just stabbed hard through the (very soft) flesh of the avocado (and then the very soft flesh of their hand).

Perhaps they were trying to stab and cut around it like you would to get an eye out of a potato? Definitely not the right technique for an avocado.

I'm picturing captain dipshit here trying to use the knife as a lever to pop the seed out from underneath, and somehow slipping and driving the knife through his or her hand.

Just want to drop in and say once I couldn't find a chef's knife and I was in a hurry and tried to use a paring knife to core an avocado and the exact same thing happened to me, only with a paring knife so it was barely anything to worry about. But yes, you can actually stab straight through the pit and they're not as hard as you may believe.

I always whack mine with a chef's knife and twist, but no matter what I'm doing in the kitchen 100% of my focus goes towards what I'm doing since I'm cutting towards myself, technically.

That is how you should pit an avocado, yeah.

Realistically you don't need to whack the pit that hard to get the knife to stick in, certainly not hard enough that you would hurt yourself if you missed. It's about as safe as you can cut toward yourself. But you should still pay attention.

What the actual gently caress, people. If you have to hold the avocado, hold it in a folded over dishtowel. I've never had a problem with just setting the thing down on the table and whacking it, even when I used an undersized knife. Also you use the long edge of the knife, not the gotblessit point, drat.

The pit is slick and round, you will get unlucky and the knife will one day deflect and cut whatever is behind the pit. If you must cut towards yourself - which you don't actually need to do - make sure there's something thicker than avocado between you and the knife.

Having a decent sharp knife instead of a lovely steak knife you got in a set of four for $5 from walmart probably helps.

You're not tenderizing meat here, there's no need to put any real force into the chopping motion. You're just swinging the knife through air, and stopping before it reaches your hand. Most people are capable of doing that without injuring themselves even when there isn't an avocado in between.

Maybe they held the knife point-up and slammed the avocado down on it. For some reason.

This is how any normal person that works in a kitchen pits an avocado, yeah. You aren't striking the pit very hard. If you somehow completely miss the avocado and strike your hand you would almost certainly be fine with a bandage, no lost time at all.

It is technically OSHA because the guy should be issued one of those chain gloves so he can't cut himself.



But nobody wants to wear these things on a line. In prep or if you're working with a slicer, sure, maybe. But not for pitting an avocado.

An avocado pit has two halves. If you stab it right on the seam there isn't much resistance.

Cutting your figertips isn't excusable, either. Your fingertips don't go anywhere near the blade when cutting properly.
