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.

That doesn't work. He doesn't even cover his food in cling wrap, so
he gets what he deserves. If my leftover half of a cut avocado
discolors before it's, it's only slight so IMO Gus is a Pooh
incarnation - only a lot dumber.

He leaves it for days and expects it to look like it's freshly cut.

Turn it upside down on a plate and put it in the fridge.

I tried that and other things, including the lemon/vinegar liquid,
both plastic wrapped and not. Basically, none of it matters. Dowsing
in lemon juice, wrapping in cling wrap, refrigerating, etc.... all
accomplish zip. I've recently discovered half a 'cado will age (turn
brwn) no more or no less than leaving the untreated/unwrapped 'cado on
the kitchen counter, overnight. So, in all cases, I jes slice off
that thin layer of brn 'cado, remove seed, and carry on.

He's just mad that I won't pat his fat his ass and kiss it the way so
many here do. He's also mad that I talk to posters he doesn't like.
That's the control freak in him - it drives him stark raving mad.
Neener neener Yappy! If he had an ounce of self control, I'd be in
his kill file and he'd never see me, especially when I'm in an
exchange with someone else who should be in his kill file too. Boy
does it set him off. LOL! It's cheap one way entertainment. I don't
see him froth at the mouth unless he's quoted or he really loses it
and morphs to escape *my* kill file. That's when you can see how he
was as a child and he was not likable then either.

Oh very much so.

Indeed it does.

Plastic wrap is indeed the solution. I press the plastic wrap to the
surface of the avocado or to the surface of the guacamole to keep air
away. Then, there is no discoloration. No, I do not keep the pit.

Shouldn't it work like lemon or lime juice?

This has been my experience too. I've love avocadoes but prefer just a
half at a time, and I've tried the tricks people mention, but like you
say all seem to have about the same result.

The fact he doesn't kill file or ignore people he claims to detest so

an ass.

And when I post a food related question, it just seems to **** him off
all the more. Weirdo.
