I firmly believe there is no nice way to cut a mango!  Just peel as close as you can to the skin.  Then start slicing.  There is a really grainy part of the mango before you hit the core.  It's not the best part to eat.  Texture is just yucky.  So when you get to the grainy part, just stop cutting.

 

I even tell my guests that I firmly believe there is simply no nice way to cut a mango!  I always ask if anyone uses mangos in the audience.  I then ask them if they have a trick to cutting a mango.  They always agree that there isn't a nice way to cut a mango!

It's super easy.  Peel the mango first.  Then stand it on end (long end) and start slicing off long chunks.  It has a long white pit in the middle that goes from end to end.  You'll know you hit it when it's really hard to slice it.  Otherwise, it should be easy to slice.  I learned that technique from a host's husband who lived somewhere tropical and ate mangoes all the time.

can we use the vegetable peeler on it or am i just kinda shaving the skin off with a knife?

 

thanks for the quick replies!

thanks ill let ya know how it goes lol.

 

To peel it, I have cut a little bit off the bottom so it sits flat on a cutting board.  Then just start at the top with a Quikut or paring knife and slice down taking off the peel.  Then I cut slices into the it from top to bottom all around.  Those then come off pretty easy, dice, and away you go.  I think it was on last year's DVD when we were doing the Mango Salsa Sundaes.
