Default I've tried lemon juice to prevent an avocado from turning

Somehow you have to prevent air from hitting the
avocado. The pit thing is nonsense except it keeps
air from where it's sitting, it's not going to help
the cut part.

Not that I have advice. I've had luck with
guacamole by floating a thin layer of lime juice on
it in a container. Perhaps you could press plastic
wrap to the surface immediately after cutting and
adding lemon juice/whatever.

Me, I never have that problem. Cut it? Eat it.
