    Just remove the stem....and slice from bottom to top when the tomato is on its side. Don't bother with seed or skin removal. Those are the most nutritious parts. Italian plum tomatoes and garden beef steak are the best kinds. A lot of meat and flavor.

    The knife should be clean and sharp doing all the work. If you have to apply pressure with your knife while cutting tomatoes, you’re doing it wrong.
    Serrated knifes will tear and rip the insides of the soft flesh in a tomato.

  • @pedroewert143

    dont cut vertically through the stem but at the side of it - so you have one halve with stem and one without.
    then you just can remove the whole stem - instead of removing two stem pieces from two halves.

    I cut my tomatoes the wrong way. Yes it can look mushy and bad but I get more tomato for what I cut. For example. You tilt it sideways to cut the top. I eat most of the circular area of the top and leave a small amount of the top part out, like a small square piece of the top. While you guys have large circular sides of the top part going to waste. 1:17

  • @stevereade4858
    @stevereade4858 Месяц назад

    Bad - even dangerous knife technique! Definitely risky, holding tomato in one's hand and CUTTING UP TOWARD FACE with what seems to be a dull, but definitely NOT sharp knife. Too much force - knife goes flying UP INTO FACE. Best approach to cut either wedges or slices is to cut DOWN through stem/core, leaving two halves. Remove core by cutting on an angle about 1/3rd down, which keeps the tomato in (two) spheric halves. You can then cut into wedges, or invert a half, and cut down vertically for slices. Knife MUST be serrated, or very, very sharp! There are a lot of very inexpensive sharpeners that do a great job for less than $15. I use one and I can - but don't - shave with them. If you hold one to edge of a single sheet of paper, you can cut it into very thin strips with no force whatsoever. Anyone can do with a little effort and practice.
    Remove seeds, no cutting: take one half in palm of your hand, hold over sink or bowl, and gently s-q-u-e-e-z-e. Seeds and membrane will come out, leaving the meat of the tomato. If you want to remove the skin, learn the French (yes, the French, again) technique concasse'.
