Title: Avocado Update
Post by: ACW3 on August 12, 2015, 09:16:15 AM

As you may recall, I posted my results from Dee’s avocado  post with some “leftover” steak tacos.  Having been duly chastised over the use of the term “leftover”, I am here to report only on the avocado as I presented it then, and how it looks today.

Just a reminder of what the avocado looked like after the quick swim in boiling water and then into the cold plunge.

Here is the same avocado, one week later.

Still very edible, with a little judicious scrapping.  That method that Dee posted is a keeper.

That is just amazing. Usually you cut into an avocado and you are committed.

Vacuum sealing an avocado also works great. Here's half an avocado that I gently (moist setting) vacuum sealed 4 days ago using an entry level FoodSaver unit. It looks as fresh as when I first cut it ...

Makes me hungry for guacamole! 

Just posted my recipe here for those that may not already have one or who haven't made it before.
