  • serrated knife and cutting board

Instructions

Method 1

  1. Place your tomato on a cutting board, stem side facing up.
  2. Roll the tomato sideways so the stem faces to the right, and cut the tomato down the center "equator" line into two halves.
  3. Use a small spoon (I use a quarter teaspoon) to scoop the tomato seeds and any tough white core out of the four seed cavities. Discard the seeds.

Method 2

  1. Place your tomato on a cutting board, stem side facing up.
  2. Roll the tomato sideways so the stem faces to the right, and cut the tomato down the center "equator" line into two halves.
  3. Gently squeeze the tomato halves over a bowl to dislodge the seeds from the seed cavities. 
  4. Try not to squeeze too hard; use gentle pressure to keep the flesh intact and prevent bruising or a mushy texture.Use a spoon or your fingers to scoop out any seeds or tough white core that clings to the tomato. Discard the seeds.

Method 3

  1. Slice the tomato vertically (from stem top to bottom) into four quarters.
  2. Use a sharp knife to carefully slice the seeds away from the tomato flesh.
  3. Discard the seeds.
