Surprising Discovery: Placing Tomato Halves Upside Down on Plates

There are certain tasks that, if done in the traditional way, do not take much time and effort. However, in this day and age, where time is precious, it is always helpful to have tips that make operations quick and easy, saving as much effort as possible for rest.

For example, when it comes to cutting tomatoes in half to make a delicious salad, there is a surprising method that is easily understood just by looking at the picture below. You might wonder why you never thought of this before:

– Simply place all the tomatoes on a plate;

– Cover the tomatoes with another plate, holding the two plates firmly with medium force to prevent the tomatoes from shifting but not crushing them;

– Use a sharp knife to cut between the two plates, and you’re done.

This method is very simple, quick, and easy. However, there are a few points to keep in mind to avoid unintentionally damaging the tomatoes to the point where you have no choice but to squeeze them into juice or bury them in the ground to grow plants. These points are:

– Firstly, it is best to separate tomatoes that are significantly different in size (too big or too small) and cut them separately. This method should be applied to tomatoes of the same size. Additionally, make sure to choose tomatoes that are firm enough, not too ripe or too soft;

– The knife used should have a thin and sharp blade to avoid ending up with crushed tomatoes;

– If using the method mentioned above, choose a plate with a flat bottom instead of a deep one. Alternatively, you can use a pot lid as a substitute for the top plate. If these options are not available, you can use two box lids or flip the two plates and use the bottom parts.
