Saving leftover avocado.

[Ernest]

Don't you just hate it when you use half an avocado and the other half turns into some nasty alien food?
Well, vacuum seal to the rescue

Day 1

[Ernest]

Day 2



Day 4. No discoloration, no change in taste.

[Ernest]

The seed is there just to prevent crushing the fruit.

[Mr. Bones]

Fantastic Tip, Ernest!!!
Was Avocado at room temp throughout, or fridged? jus' curious...
Thanks fer postin', Amigo!

[HawkerXP]

also, no Avocado for my toast

[Spinaker]

No oxidation. So the enzyme can't turn the flesh that nasty brown color. Great idea.

I always thought the vac sealer would crush the fruit flat.

[Ernest]

That's why I kept the seed intact, to prevent crushing.

[Spinaker]

Also more proof that you are the master. Ernest

[Attjack]

I have an easier solution. Just eat it later that day.

[Mudkat]

Yeah. Avocado don't last long in my house!

[DWCowles]

You all can have my share

[Attjack]

I wonder if you stuck it in a jar, and then used your foodsealer to seal the jar if you would get the same effect with easy access and no waste? I might give that a try.

[Attjack]

I put one in a jar. I'll let you know how it goes.

Looks like it could be a good idea for leftover guac too - not that it happens very often.

It works for guac, too. Since I don't have a chamber sealer, I put the guac into a small dish and lay a single sheet of plastic wrap over it to inhibit guac migration while vacuum sealing (I use the MOIST setting):



After a few days in the fridge, it's as good as new:

Use what you have and make it work. One of the best things in life!

[Mr. Bones]

Mother of invention is fave with me/mine..
Cheap? I dunno.. we bought a vac sealer, bags, etc.
Avacodo$ don't grow on trees, where I come from/am at...
Mudkat ya' right on th' money, too, brother!
Love yer outdoor cooks, shades o' Kent Rollins, who I greatly admire/respect!

[Mudkat]

I'll have to check him out Mr. Bones. If his home page has anything to do with the rest of the site I'm all in! It simply says: Cooking - Cast Iron - Cowboy.

[FireMan]

MBMorgan, nothing like cheapness. Cool!

[Ernest]

Mr. Bones Mudkat I love Kent Rollins.

[FireMan]

His book & you tubes are great. He is truly a Dutch oven master, let alone the CI Dept.

[Mudkat]

l got some tubing to do!

[Huskee]

Great stuff!

We had a similar post on this a few months back from the humble MBMorgan. DocBlonder had some other wonderful tips on using & storing avocados for those that don't have a vac sealer here in that older post.

[Psinderson]

Thanks for the link to the older thread! I rarely battle having to consider leftover avocado options around here, but it’s nice to know how to when needed.

[Jerod Broussard]

Wife and step-kids eat that green stuff, simply because they are not related to me.

They call me The Avocado man at my regular Costco
