Don't know how to cut a mango? No worries - after reading this post, you'll know at least one way to neatly cut a mango without getting yourself completely sticky with juice. If you've got a really ripe and tasty mango, there's no real way around it, as soon as you make the first cut, some juice will come out. (Try to avoid licking your hands until you're finished cutting!) The general idea is to cut around the large, flat seed in the middle of the fruit. I like to cut as close as possible to the seed so I can get as much of the flesh as possible. Of course, this method is just the method I prefer. If you've got another method, feel free to share in the comments!

How to Cut a Mango

| mango |
Methods:
 |
1. Slice through the mango to one side of the seed. |
 |
2. Repeat for other side. |
 |
3. Cut a cross hatch pattern into each side of the mango, making sure not to cut the skin. |
 |
4. Flip each half inside out. The flesh will be easy to scoop out at this point. |
 |
5. Make a cut on either side of the stem. |
 |
6. Pull skin around seed off. |

That mango looks so good! Thanks for the instructions - and Thanks for sharing at the What's for Dinner link up!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! Thought I'd share since we're seeing mangoes on sale all over the place now. :)
DeleteYum! I loved eating mango when I lived in Hawaii... have you heard of or tried the cup method of peeling it? That's a fun party trick. Thanks for posting this on the #sustainablesunday link up!
ReplyDeleteLiving in Hawaii sounds wonderful! I haven't heard of the cup method, but I'll have to go find out what it is. :) Thanks for stopping by! :)
DeleteI always think it is such a waste to cut the mango. There should be a mango corer like the apple corer. I tried that one time. Not large enough for the mango seed. Thanks for sharing at What'd You Do This Weekend.
ReplyDeleteWishes for tasty dishes,

I've seen a mango slicer where you just push down recently! Although to be honest, I'm not sure how well it would work. Using this method, you really don't waste much flesh at all. :)
DeleteLove this tutorial. Thank you for sharing at the Delicious Dishes Recipe Party this week!
ReplyDeleteHope you find it useful! So many delicious mangoes around this time of year. :)
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there was a way to cut it. My daughters eat it more than I do.
Thank you for bringing your post to Blogger's Pit Stop last week.
