Thanks Julie, will try his method with the onion next time.

I will try either the onion method or the the oil method the next time I have avacodo to save.

Great tip Julie.Thanks

I've put the half with the pit in, in a glass container with onion.  Will see how it goes over a few days.

I've got half an Avo stone still intact coated with EVOO in a plastic containier in the fridge. I'll see how it goes.

I vacuum seal my half avocados now and it works great.

I'm the only person who likes avocados so I tend to eat the entire one during the day. Some with salad at lunch and the rest with dressing at dinner. I just press glad wrap onto the cut surface. It is only for a few hours.
Are they expensive everywhere else? They are a reasonable price here at the moment, but not cheap. I bought one yesterday for $1.70.

I just just up at WW I think they were $3.25 each I usually buy a bag from Aldi it's about $6.99 I think get about 6 or 8 Avo's.   I have planted a tree , second year with lots of nice new growth, I hope it produces soon it cost me $75.00.

I wet paper towel and leaving the stone  in the half just cover it with the wet paper and pop it into one of those plastic avacado  thingys.

Aldi have started building their warehouse here. Maybe next year for a shop or two.

Any comments yet on the various options you experimented with?

[JulieO]

After putting my avo in the fridge on top of the onions, I forgot all about it for about a week   

When I opened up the container, it was slightly brown on top, but only the very top layer which I scraped off.  Underneath it was really good and hadn't gone the least bit slimy or unpalatable. Obviously the onion had absorbed any condensation and kept it dryer than if it was in a container alone. 

[Cuilidh]

That's interesting.  So if it is a case of absorbing condensation, do you think that, perhaps, a paper towel would be as effective as an onion?
