So you ’ve found the perfectguacamolerecipe to whip up for your Cinco de Mayo party . There ’s just one bantam problem : If you get stuck with leftovers , you ’ll have to polish off those check and angle of dip jolly quickly before the mashed - upavocadosstart to work an shitty wraith of brown .
While this may not be the worst problem to have , there ’s a simple way to extend your guacamole ’s shelf life , according toTheKitchn ’s editor program - in - boss , Faith Durand . Once your guacamole has been organize and placed in a bowl , add a petty minute of water until a tenuous layer covers the top . Durand , who is also acookbookauthor , recognise that this may go singular or unappetizing to some , but “ piddle is a perfect roadblock against oxygen , and since guacamole is obtuse , a little liquid wo n’t irrigate it down . ”
When you ’re quick to eat the guacamole , just dump out the water and stir it up . Durand says you wo n’t notice any deviation in grain , and the guacamole will keep for up to three solar day , form it hone for multiple snack sessions .
Adding the avocado pit to your bowl of pre - fain guacamole can also technically help prevent “ yield rusting , ” asLive Scienceputs it , but it is n’t a very sound method . This is because it only protect the little routine of guacamole it touches by shielding it from oxygen . So while the areas smother the infernal region will be green , the rest will be brown . “ Recommending that someone go forth the pits in a roll of guacamole to prevent John M. Browning is a bit like recommending that people cover their heads tightly with their hands to keep their hair from perplex soaked in a rainstorm , ” Eli MacKinnon writes for Live Science .
The net is also plethoric with “ kitchen ward-heeler ” for preserving whole avocado tree , but like anything else , some are more effective than others . If you ’re going to slew an avocado pear and only eat half of it , Epicuriousrecommends eating the half without the nether region . That ’s because the colliery , once again , can help keep your avocado green for a farsighted period of time . For good touchstone , squeeze a little stinker succus onto the Earth’s surface of the exposed avocado and then cover it with plastic wrap . you could do the same for guacamole , and it should keep for at least a couple of hours as long as the plastic wrapping tightly hugs the surface of the guacamole .
