Ingredients
- 1 tomato
Instructions
- Wash the tomato
- Using a 4-5 inch blade paring knife (very sharp), point the blade beside the stem and cut down into the center of the tomato from the top stem area. Cut in a funnel shape around the stem.
- When you have cut all the way around the stem, pull the center out. This is the core. It is white and hard.
- Look down into the center of the tomato and see if you were able to cut out all of this white area.
Notes
- Use fresh, plump ripe tomatoes for this project.
- You’ll want your knife to be very sharp so that you don’t have to apply much pressure. Applying pressure to a tomato usually results in juice and seeds going everywhere.
- Use a paring knife (small 4-5 inch long blade) for this job instead of a chefs knife.
- Make sure to use a cutting board so that you don’t mark up your other surfaces.
- Hold the tomato down on a surface and go into the tomato from directly above the tomato, poke down about half way and cut in a funnel shape.
