So, how does one do this, @liuzhou ? My mango seeds/stones always stick to the flesh.

 

You'll never get all the flesh off the stone, but you can get close. I lay the mango on a cutting board. It naturally rests so that the stone lies parallel to the board, then take a knife and feel for the stone and run the knife across the top side of the stone. It's sort of a similar technique to filleting a fish using the backbone as a guide. When you have removed one half flip the mango back over then repeat to remove the other side, hopefully leaving the stone relatively flesh free.

 

The same company I bought the mango tool from also does these, but they are not adjustable, so you need to buy your mangoes to suit the tool. Screw that!
