00:13so you and I can cook together twice a week.

00:15So here I have a ripe avocado.

00:17I can feel that it's ready.

00:18We're gonna cross our fingers

00:19and I have a small sharp knife

00:22that I'm simply going to use to slice the avocado in half.

00:26Then I'm gonna twist it open and pray it's great.

00:30Yes.

00:32You can do this two ways.

00:33The beginner method is to take your knife

00:36and slice the avocado all the way down to the skin.

00:40And as you can see, I'm making pretty even slices,

00:43just like that.

00:45And then I'm gonna take a spoon

00:47and get it real close to the skin all the way to the bottom.

00:51And this, like right here,

00:52is going to lift my entire avocado out.

00:57And now I have avocado slices.

00:59Now that's good enough if I've seen it,

01:01but before anybody calls me out

01:03and says I'm doing it the real way,

01:05I'm gonna take my bigger knife

01:08and remove the pit from my avocado.

01:10Take that same spoon and scoop out half of my avocado.

01:14I can place it upside down on my board.

01:17And with a small knife or a big knife,

01:19I'm just going to slice it

01:21into as thick or thin slices as you want.

01:30We take that same avocado and we place it on our platter.

01:35And just like that,

01:36our avocado slices are ready for sandwiches or burgers and more.
