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!

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.
