The Original Tip. The original tip recommends completely wrapping an avocado with tinfoil, then placing it in a baking dish, and transferring it to a 200Â°F oven for 10 minutes, or until it softens. Avocados release ethylene gas, which ultimately promotes ripening.
A ripe avocado is relatively firm, but will yield to gentle pressure when squeezed gently. 1  Place the avocado in the palm of your hand. 2  Gently squeeze the avocado without applying pressure from your fingertips, as this can cause bruising.  If the avocado yields to firm, gentle pressure, it is ripe and ready to eat.
