• What a gem
  My mango experiences in the past have not been good. The liitle buggers are hard to hang onto, especially after the first slice.

• Really does work
  I never used to buy mangos as much but now that I am living in California there appear to be fire sales on them so often it is worth the hassle of preparing them. I saw the Cook's review of this product and decided to give it a try. I didn't even have to cut off the end as they suggested - at least not on this particular mango. In short, it really does work.
