avocado rehash
 

Just wanted to say that hubby used half an avocado yesterday and
refrigerated it in a baggie. He didn't do anything special to it (no
pit, no coating the surface with lemon juice). Today, you'd never
know it wasn't freshly cut - so I'm having a hard time understanding
what all the problems and discussion about storing avocados is all
about.

Simple, he stored it in a plastic bag thus eliminating air getting to that alligator pear and oxidizing it. Probably some people just put a cut avocado in the 'fridge without it being covered and then get upset when it turns to that ugly brown.

I've tried in the past putting one in a tight tupperware, and it still
turned pretty quick. I guess with a baggie you can squeeze most the
oxygen out? It also turns fairly quick when I load it with hot salsa
and soy sauce for a quick attempt at guacamole; though it slows it some.

He never thinks about those things, he just put it into the baggie and
sealed it.

Can't trouble shoot what you did. I don't add salsa or soy sauce. A
good squirt of lime and a little salt is all I need. I can only tell
you not to make more than you can eat that day.
