Product Description
A Mango is a sweet, delicious fruit. It can be difficult to peel and slice, however. Traditionally cooks instruct people that the following steps should be followed to open a Mango - Cut off the stem of the mango; Hold the fruit upright, cupping it in the palm of your hand; With the other hand, use a potato peeler or a paring knife to cut away the peel, following the curves of the fruit; Lay the fruit on its flat end and slice lengthwise, working around the flat seed in the middle. Cut the fruit into thin slices as desired.; Stand the mango upright or otherwise move around to carve away the remaining flesh surrounding the seed. OR you can use the Oxo Good Grips Mango Splitter.

Amazon.com Review
There's nothing as luscious as a ripe mango. Growing in popularity, mangoes are now available in many stores year-round and can be eaten fresh, cubed into salads, or sliced and baked on top of chicken breasts. Helping prepare the fruit for eating is this ingenious mango splitter from OXO. The splitter is a circular white plastic device with sharp stainless-steel blades in the center and OXO's signature black comfort handles on two sides. Holding both handles, the user pushes the blades down through the mango from the top, separating the seed from two halves of mango. The flesh can then be cubed or sliced off the skin on those two halves. After the prep work, the mango splitter slips right into the dishwasher for hassle-free cleaning. --Ann Bieri

It Works! July 24, 2008
Once you figure out how to use it, this product does really work! The first couple of times I tried it, it didn't go well. The mangos were pretty ripe, I had to push hard, the blade didn't cut through the skin and it made an awful mushy mess. After thinking about it, I did the following: first I cut a bit off the bottom of the mango to ensure that it would sit flat on the cutting board. Then I pushed down as instructed. As with the first couple of times, the blade didn't cut through the skin due to ripeness. This time however, when the mango splitter blade didn't cut throught the mango skin, I stopped. I then took a sharp knife and cut the skin where the blade made an impression. After making the cut, I lined up the splitter to match the cut, pushed, and it cut perfectly. I tried with another mango that wasn't as ripe, and it worked without me having to precut the skin.

Really does work July 20, 2008
I never used to buy mangos as much but now that I am living in California there appear to be fire sales on them so often it is worth the hassle of preparing them. I saw the Cook's review of this product and decided to give it a try. I didn't even have to cut off the end as they suggested - at least not on this particular mango. In short, it really does work.

Mango Majic July 17, 2008
For those of you who love mangoes but do not like them mushed when you eat them, please try the slicer! You will never again eat a hand prepared mango! Fantastic item to add to the many fantastic items OXO has for today food preppers!

Another useless toy July 8, 2008
I bought this upon America's Test Kitchen recommendation but it only works for small or medium mangos and does not work for larger ones. A good peeler and knife work just fine. Another gadget that's gonna take some space in the kitchen without much benefit.

mango splitter July 6, 2008
this product works well. you should slice the bottom off the mango so it sits flat while using it.
