Know before you buy
The splitter is designed to accommodate most standard-sized mangoes. However, for exceptionally large or small fruit, you may need to adjust the positioning to ensure the blades align properly with the pit.
No, the OXO Mango Splitter is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing the blades with warm, soapy water and drying them immediately to maintain the sharpness of the stainless steel.
It works best on firm, ripe mangoes. If the fruit is overly soft or bruised, the blades may struggle to make a clean cut, and you may find it easier to prepare the fruit manually.
The tool is designed for a single, firm press. Because it uses sharp stainless steel blades, it requires significantly less effort than using a standard kitchen knife, but you should still use it on a stable, flat cutting board.
The splitter is most effective when the mango is positioned upright and centered. If the pit is significantly off-center, you may need to manually guide the tool to ensure the blades clear the seed correctly.
