Eliminate Avocado Prep Time With Rachael Ray's Rack Hack

As chef Rachael Ray revealed in a YouTube video posted by the "Rachael Ray Show," two kitchen items can make creating a loosely cubed, slightly crushed version of avocado a breeze.

With Ray’s trick, your usual avocado prep time is sure to get a whole lot shorter. All you’ll need for the hack is a wire rack, ripe avocado halves, and a bowl to catch the cubes.

Showing how to get the job done, Ray says, "You put one of your wire racks over the bowl, and just give the avocado a squish." The hack works for both fresh and grilled avocados.

The avocado will be soft enough for mashing once cubed. You can enjoy it however you like — be it in guacamole, on avocado toast, or as a topping for tacos, nachos and quesadillas.
