It is easy to core tomatoes before peeling them. Follow these quick instructions to prepare your tomatoes and use them in your favorite recipes.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Cutting board
  • Small paring knife
  • Round, firm tomatoes
  1. Step 1

    Remove the tomatoes from their package and clean them under cold water. Do not scrub the tomatoes, or they will bruise. Dry them with clean paper towels.

  2. Step 2

    Put a clean cutting board on a counter or table with something underneath so that it does not move.

  3. Step 3

    Place the tomato on its side on the cutting board.

  4. Step 4

    Hold the tomato with one hand. Insert a small, sharp paring knife into the tomato, next to the stem and just outside the core. Hold the knife steady while cutting.

  5. Step 5

    Point the knife at an angle towards the center of the tomato and create a full circle by rotating the tomato as you cut just around the stem. Remove the core with the end of the knife.
