I love mango, absolutely love it. What I definitely don't love however is peeling and chopping the bloody things as even if I don't lose a finger trying to slice the flesh from around the stone, I'll definitely lose cash as I waste aforementioned flesh when I realise I actually have no chance of getting it all off. So around five years ago I wasn't particularly surprised to find an Oxo Good Grips Mango Splitter in my Christmas stocking, as my family aren't known for their exciting choice of present - if my mum notices a need for something she'll buy it (however mundane) for them. It's actually turned out well, the same Mango Splitter being in regular use and ...  Read the complete review

However, despite my misgivings, my first mango was perfectly stoned, and so has every mango I've bought since. The fruit really is shaped like the stoner, ...  Read the complete review

OXO Good Grips Mango Splitter is an ingenious device which allows you to neatly, carefully and expertly split a mango and be able to remove the hard nut in the middle without any effort at all. It cost just under six pounds and we bought it online about a year ago. It saves a lot of money if you enjoy mango but do not like to prpeare a fresh one yourself and therefore are tempted to buy the pre-sliced packets, which can cost a fortune. Our little lad loves fresh mango and we all eat a lot of it as a family but it can be a real pain preparing the fruit and my other half usually leaves it to me. This gadget is like using an apple slicer and it is so ...  Read the complete review
