It can feel really hit-and-miss when you're peeling and slicing an avocado - sometimes you can open and cut it with ease, and other times, it just seems to go completely wrong and can cause some serious mess. Not to mention how difficult it is to judge when an avocado is perfectly ripe, rather than rock hard or gross and mushy.

Thankfully, professional chef Gordon Ramsay has shared a "great tip to make sure your avocado is perfect for any dish", and it's really simple and easy to follow, with some even saying that it's a "common thing in restaurants."

Gordon Ramsay said on TikTok: "A little tip when you're dicing avocado, leave it in the shell, hit it with a little touch of lime juice, and then very carefully put your finger in and rub that so it stops it from oxidising. And then just crisscross very carefully with your knife one way, turn it upside down, and go again, and all you're doing now is dissecting that side."

In the comments, some claimed that they'd been "doing that for years", and another said: "My mum taught me this way except the lime juice - that's funky." Someone else explained what happens after the video ends, writing: "I thought this was the only way to do it. Then just squeeze the shell and it all comes out!"

Other people also said that they learned how to cook from Gordon Ramsay, with one budding chef praising him by saying: "I learned my whole cooking from this man", and another said they'd been watching him since his Hells Kitchen days, saying: "I learned how to cook while watching Hells Kitchen. I would binge-watch it, go shopping and make wellingtons then re-watch episodes studying them."
