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
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.

Bango Mango December 20, 2008
OK, so if it was used more than ocassionally, it would get five stars. Put this in the "someone had to think of it" category. Solid as other Good Grips products and purpose-built to do just one thing - pit a mango. If you have a mango-lover in the house, surprise them with this unique tool, as I did.
 Makes it so easy November 24, 2008
I recently found a recipe that calls for cubed mango and this little item makes it so much easier to cut the fruit. There isn't as much waste either. Highly recommend it. Not hard to use at all. Just make sure you hold the fruit at the correct angle and push down slowly with the chopper. Pop it in the dishwaher and you are good to go next time!
Follow directions and you'll love it! November 19, 2008
When I first saw this, I hesitated because I thought it was expensive for a simple slicer - but it was worth it! To be able to cut a mango so that it's not a mess allows you to get the most out of the fruit, as well as saving you cleanup. I've had it for weeks and am a mango lover, so it got plenty of use. For those who had a problem, the secret is to use a ripe, not overripe mango. Like any other fruit, mangos shouldn't be mushy but reasonably firm. The other secret is to read and follow the directions on the package as to where to place the slicer on the mango. It doesn't slice directly down, but on a curve. Let the slicer guide you. So far, every mango I used was sliced perfectly.

This arrived quickly and in good (band new) condition, just as advertized. I can hardly wait to see how well it works. Thanks.
 It doesn't work, at all! October 31, 2008
Maybe its just me but I've never been able to split a mango using this tool, no matter the size of the mango. I would not recommend buying this as I believe it would be a waste of money.
