Instructions
Things You'll Need:
- Cutting board
- Small paring knife
- Round, firm tomatoes
-
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.
-
Step 2
Put a clean cutting board on a counter or table with something underneath so that it does not move.
-
Step 3
Place the tomato on its side on the cutting board.
-
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.
-
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.
