Refridgerated avocados: Harder to separate flesh from peel
 

This refridgeration of avocados after ripening works way better than the other way around. No more rotten avocados. And keeping them in the fruit drawer without a plastic bag seems good too.

I'm finding that for avocado treated this way, it's harder to separate the flesh from the peel. The flesh seems goopier. Wondering if it's a Universal Truth.

Could be. Are you trying to peel them cold? I keep near ripe or ripe
avocados in the fridge but warm them in hot water before peeling.

Some avocados are just a bitch to peel. Especially under ripe ones!

I don't peel 'em. I halve and pit them, cut a set of crosshatches, and
scoop out the pieces with a spoon.

I have them to pit, but then quarter them to peel. And on a good day
with a good avocado, I can simply peel the skin off the 1/4 pitted
avocados and end up with 1/4 pitted avocados, and little to no wasted
avocado flesh! YUM!

Me too.

John: Yes, I was trying to peel them cold. Now I run them under some
warm water before hand, seems to help. Thanks. I also halve them to
pit and quarter them to peel

isw & MaryL: I like topping them quarters off with lots of different
spices, sauces, and oils, so I want them completely out of their
skins.
