Alton Brown: How to (Safely) Slice a Mango

Alton Brown is one of my favorite TV personalities.  His new youtube channel is not only a treasure trove of great cooking advice, it's also dang funny!  Since my children love mangoes but I always have trouble cutting them, I thought I'd be smart to save this video where I'll remember it exists.



*I also recently discovered a tool from OXO that slices the pit out of a mango with no guess work about where said pit might be.  Alton wouldn't approve because it's a unitasker, but it's something I've purchased and used happily many times this summer.  Why it never occurred to me to use a peeler to remove the skin before slicing the mango I'll never know.  (I've been doing the unsafe open palm grid slice and it's quite inefficient.)
