Mango Wedger Troubles: Tips for Successful Use

[otisbg]

OK...I am having major problems with the Mango Wedger. Had luck once, but the other 3 times, I cannot get it to go through!!!!!!!!!:cry:
What are tips and what am I doing wrong?

I have not had any problems. Do you cut off the bottom to make it stand up? If it looks a bit lopsided after doing this, just wedge a bit until you get it going. And since it is a "wedger" move it back and forth in a rocking motion until it just slides down the mango.

Also, make sure you"re getting ripe mangos! The less green it is, the more ripe. Green means it's not ready.

Also, make sure the "oval" is sideways -- I haven't had any trouble - just keep trying!

Tonight I had a cold mango. It had been put in the fridge, so it was a little hard to cut through at first. I cut a little off the top and bottom first and tried using the wedger on the top of the mango. But it was a little hard. I flipped it upside down and started that way, and it was soooooo much easier. I love this wedger and have used it a lot. Usually I don't have any problems...this was just tricky at first because it was harder from being cold.
