Dr. Whittington’s viral safety video emphasizes that kitchen safety matters just as much as culinary skill. “The goal,” he says, “is to protect your hand — not just perfect your guacamole.”
He also adds a useful tip: a browned avocado isn’t necessarily bad. The discoloration usually comes from oxidation, not spoilage, and the fruit can remain edible for up to two days.
A little mindfulness can go a long way in the kitchen. By slowing down and using safe techniques, you can enjoy your avocado toast — and keep your hands out of the emergency room.
