What tools do you need to cut a mango?
Slice like a pro-Essential tools for cutting mangoes cleanly and easily
➤Sharp Paring Knife:
A small, sharp paring knife offers precision when slicing the mango cheeks and trimming around the seed.
➤Chef’s Knife (Optional):
A larger chef’s knife works well if you prefer stronger, more controlled cuts-especially with firmer mangoes.
➤Cutting Board:
Use a non-slip cutting board to keep the mango stable while cutting and reduce mess.
➤Mango Splitter:
A mango splitter is a handy tool that easily slices the fruit and separates the seed in one motion.
➤Spoon or Scoop:
A spoon helps scoop out the mango flesh cleanly from the skin after cutting the cheeks.
➤Vegetable Peeler:
Use a peeler if you prefer to remove the mango skin before slicing or dicing the flesh.
➤Glass Rim or Cup Trick:
Place the mango cheek against a glass edge to separate the pulp from the skin quickly and smoothly.
➤Fruit Carving Knife (Optional):
For decorative presentations or fruit platters, a carving knife lets you create attractive mango shapes.
➤Kitchen Towel or Paper Towels:
Mangoes are slippery! Use a towel to grip the fruit securely and wipe juice as needed.
➤Storage Containers or Bowls:
Have containers ready to store your cut mango, especially if you’re prepping for later use or freezing.
