Thank you sir...so easy once you've got some knife skills under your belt

[@DaveBeaulieu]

Thanks...glad you liked it.

I have no formal training and always struggled with tomatoes; this is definitely a good way to do it seeing as I've probably tried about every other method possible. the only thing I do differently is remove most the seeds but I always make Greek salad so this makes more sense for a sauce (like you said)

[@ball1106c]

Great Tutorial Dave! Thanks for posting!

[@DaveBeaulieu]

[@njneopatriot]

I used my Tramontina serrated steak knife. Works extremely well

[@DaveBeaulieu]

You mean to skin it right? That's a good technique to use.

[@aneshaberry5901]

Ugh, why haven't I looked this up before?? Thanks so much for this tutorial!

[@DaveBeaulieu]

haha...you're welcome!

[@foodieatheart4310]

saw another user's comment.. how do I dice tomatoes if I don't want seeds in it, i.e. if it's for a pasta sauce or greek salad?

[@pera85212]

Good job !

[@DaveBeaulieu]

Thanks!

[@MrCombatgiraffe]

[@DaveBeaulieu]

Ha ha...glad you found it helpful.

[@ThomasIkemann]

Isnt it bad to use the grind of the knife to push the pieces away? Does this make the grind unsharp?

[@dethandtaxes]

Yes it would dull the blade after a while but many chef's and home-cooks that I know often sharpen the blade before each use.

[@ThomasIkemann]

I do too, but they have the money to buy new knfies also.

[@HavocRSPS]

essentially

[@dimasgomez]

The tecnical term is "to seed" a tomato.

[@dimasgomez]

I'm no chef, but you should've concasse the tomato first (scald it). Fast boiling bath, then ice bath. Search about it.

[@SJ-ho5jc]

this it the longest way to chop a tomato ever. you could have done that in 4 steps easy

[@BlackTalon53]

Don't use the edge to scrape stuff aside. No wonder your blade is dull as fuck. Flip the knife over and use the spine for scraping.

[@DaveBeaulieu]

Just don't talk them out!

[@pravinkhandagale3865]

bittu bak bak
