    Just remove the stem....and slice from bottom to top when the tomato is on its side. Don't bother with seed or skin removal. Those are the most nutritious parts. Italian plum tomatoes and garden beef steak are the best kinds. A lot of meat and flavor.

    The knife should be clean and sharp doing all the work. If you have to apply pressure with your knife while cutting tomatoes, you’re doing it wrong.
    Serrated knifes will tear and rip the insides of the soft flesh in a tomato.

    dont cut vertically through the stem but at the side of it - so you have one halve with stem and one without.
    then you just can remove the whole stem - instead of removing two stem pieces from two halves.

    I cut my tomatoes the wrong way. Yes it can look mushy and bad but I get more tomato for what I cut. For example. You tilt it sideways to cut the top. I eat most of the circular area of the top and leave a small amount of the top part out, like a small square piece of the top. While you guys have large circular sides of the top part going to waste. 1:17

But there's no evidence you even know how to cut a tomato properly. You think you know, but you're no Gordon Ramsay or Marco Pierre White. :P
