Preparing tomatoes may require you to seed, core, slice or peel them.If you want to cut fresh tomatoes or slice them thinly, coring a whole tomato is a good idea.If you want to avoid absorbing the tomato's water into a dish, coring it is better than seeding it.
Step 1: The tomato should be washed under cool running water.
Step 2: It should be washed with a towel.
Water on the skin can cause your grip to slip.
Step 3: The tomato has a stem.
Step 4: The top section of the tomato should be facing up.
You can core a tomato at an angle if you tilt it to one side.
Step 5: The tomato has a paring knife in it.
The knife tip should be inserted at an angle of 25 degrees.The knife should be pushed down by 12 to 1 inch at this angle.When you think the tip of your knife is at the center of the tomato, stop using it.
Step 6: While turning the fruit, hold the tomato firmly and cut in a circular motion.
You can dispose of the tomato core when you reach your starting point.
Step 7: Put the tomato on the board.
It should be placed on the stem side up.
Step 8: The tomato should be sliced vertically from the top.
You can slice the tomato into fourths by holding it together with your other hand.
Step 9: The tomato slices can be opened on the cutting board.
Step 10: Use a knife to slice the tomato.
Remove the white core from the tomato.The knife blade should hit the inside wall of the tomato.
Step 11: The 3 remaining sections should be repeated.
The seeds and white core should be discarded.Cut the tomato into smaller pieces.
