@@lexotansteele2755 disagree. Chefs knife or straight edge utility knife is the way to go. Most cheap serrated knives (especially steak knives) are dull and actually tear the food instead of slicing it. Avoid serrated knives for almost all prep work.
@@dirtyketchup I strongly disagree. Tomatoes, bread, and some meats are the only prep work items I will die on a hill saying to use a serrated for. If you are prepping a lot of items in your restaurant, spending time sharpening/honing your blade between every item will eat up your day. I have worked in massive kitchens before with 10 or more people working at a time, your time isn't as valuable in those situations, and I would sharpen by blade constantly. But now I work in a smaller kitchen, where the max amount of people working is 2. And 1 of them does all the prep work in the morning, while another comes in for service to help out. Making time a lot more valuable. We sometimes get students come in to our restaurant to work for their hours. All of our chef's have worked for over 20+ years in the industry, me included. And every student tries to educate us on chef's knives for everything. I am guessing you are a student, and you have very little restaurant experience, or you have a dream of chasing a Michelin star.
Rub some of her lotion on them before you slice them, just a thin coating, like you'd treat a vintage leather jacket, it'll give her the taste she's convinced is missing 😉
It’s a very nice technique but don’t ever ever forget to sharpen your knife. Using a dull knife or a half sharp knife will take out the juices more and losses the tastr of your tomatoes. Or worst you won’t be able to cut through.
The thing about restaurant tricks like this is that they are useful when you need to slice hundreds of tomatoes per day and must work as a fast food machine. Sure I want marco pierre white speed slicing skills and tricks etc, but I also like marco pierre white on his philosophy of cooking without rush like it's a race after he became a home cook. My favorite recipes takes hours on the oven anyway..
Got in trouble for doing this at a Restaurant once. They told me it was because sometimes when you cut it (sharp knife or not) it makes them look like they were cut at an angle sometimes. Good tip, but I guess can kinda be a little inconsistent.
Please be careful when showing your Grandma. We were out at a gorge lookout for a day trip and when I showed this video to my gran it blew her away. RIP Gramma 😥
You Sir are a fountain of knowledge. This is a little nothing hack for you but if you spend 8 hours a day slicing cherry tomatoes like me, it's life changing.
Hey man I haven’t seen your videos in a while, I hope you’re doing well. Last time I saw you, you had hair… it’s either been a really long time, you shaved it, or you’re sick… I hope you just shaved it. Keep up the amazing attitude man
I used to work with a guy who cut all his tomatoes one by one. I showed him this trick and he refused to do saying he wanted his tomatoes perfect. Guy was just running out the clock. I still get heated when I think about it.
Cool...now how do I cut into quarters? Big ol' cherry tomatoes cut in half are still a little big to put in a salad as I find the bites with tomato overpower the rest of the salad ingredients. But a quarter per bite is mama bear just right.
In my opinion just keep repeating the same steps. And I really personally don't care about lining them up perfectly as long as they're cut in half. That's just my opinion though
I'm sure many variations are possible. Sonny finds many needs for that quantity of tomatoes. If you need more, do it between two Dixie plates from Costco, whether the 8 inch or the 10 in, according to your audience. Depending on how deep it is, you can even use it on grape tomatoes.
@@KayKay-mf4pq no this guy is joking, and it's not particular funny. He had a receding hairline and decided to own it rather than pretend his hair still looked good
Those aren't Tupperware. Those are drink cup lids. Tupperware is a brand name and the product is far better quality than those throw away drink cup lids. You should call Tupperware and schedule a Tupperware party so you can know what Tupperware really is.

If your knife isn't sharp just use a bread knife
I use my bread knife all the time! It's amazing what a great job it does on just about everything I need to cut.
If your knife isn’t sharp enough to cut cherry tomatoes, get out of the kitchen and come back with a sharp knife.
A serrated knife with smaller serrations, like a steak knife, is probably better.

I can no more impress her she’s dead 😢
I literally buy cherry toms EVERY grocery run! You just gave me atleast an hour of my life back per week! Not joking! Ty!
Bro is the Walter White of cooking
🤣🤣🤣
But Walter White is a cook too, his product wasn't food though.
I’ve seen this trick done with plates, but this looks way less clunky. 👍
Was literally thinkin about showing my grandma this before he called me out
grandma so pissed he changed his pronouns

We did this with two line-pan lids at the restaurant. Does about 30-40 at a time. Fills up an eighth pan in 2 cuts easy.

I am a chef and I can confirm this is exactly how we slice them we even use the same lid.
Anybody think this guy looks like Giovanni Ribisi?
Love the videos man thanks!

I navigated away but came right back to leave you a like first because your videos are just excellent. Thanks for keeping it up
im actually gonna do this next time I use cherry tomatoes, thanks!
I literally watch these videos for the post karate fridge scene
My man Billy Corgan got some OG cooking stills. 😮

man is looking more and more like Walter white
😂😂😂🔪
Aww such an courageous man, letting it go, I like this look better..CHOW!!🥰
For prep we would do that with grapes for the chicken salad
love the look, suits you ❤❤
I thought putting them between two plates was common knowledge. Glad people were able to learn this. 🙌🏼
Tupperware lids , cause we all somehow have a few extra lids lying around without containers😂
Sooooo no announcement on the change up of the look? Hope it's nothing medical. Love the content.
It sounds like you said, “Now go and press your grandma” 🤣
The time it takes you do go get the lids and clean them after I'd be done chopping them one by one.
Frfr
You should do a colab with Shereen the Culinary Vixen.would be, epically, GLORIOUS
An old restaurant hack which has gone viral many times
Indeed
those look like very delicious tomatoes
Goes to impress grandma and grandma does it without the knife 😂
Grandma splits tomatoes by insulting them
Me on my way to my grandma home ❤❤
In a restaurant, you find the long prep table, dump and line up 3+ pints and slice half an 8 qt at a time.
Hey man I haven’t seen your videos in a while, I hope you’re doing well. Last time I saw you, you had hair… it’s either been a really long time, you shaved it, or you’re sick… I hope you just shaved it. Keep up the amazing attitude man
Aye my boy when chrome. Respect
Took me like 20 minutes to find the Tupperware cap
Been doing this for years. My wife does one at a time😂
Instructions unclear, now i shaved my beard and i’m bald.
How do you cut them in quarters though?
(halves are too big to my liking)
Walter White at home cooking.
Some of us enjoy the process of cooking.... the rest are in the drive through lane at Micky Ds.
"if you're feeling bald"
Now I need to go buy tupperware lids to cut tomatoes like restaurant.
Lol needed this video. I stopped buying grape tomatoes cause it took so long to cut them all in half lol
Are you gonna grow your hair back :0
I used to work with a guy who cut all his tomatoes one by one. I showed him this trick and he refused to do saying he wanted his tomatoes perfect. Guy was just running out the clock. I still get heated when I think about it.
That’s dope. I never seen that b4
Is it just me or is he turning into Walter White. Rosemary Salt =Meth
Cool...now how do I cut into quarters? Big ol' cherry tomatoes cut in half are still a little big to put in a salad as I find the bites with tomato overpower the rest of the salad ingredients. But a quarter per bite is mama bear just right.
1/16 are good for me
After the first cut, put them between chopsticks and cut 'em again.
Putting them between chopsticks is way too much work for me. I will be fine with halfs
By the time I find the tupperware lids I'd have sliced 50 by hand already
Now THAT is a great tip!
or you use two rectangular plates and do a lot more
I thought you said, "Now go press your grandma" and I was like "That's a bit odd to say, how about no thanks".
Can we get more of these hacks please?!?
Yea but lining them up and using two lids takes the tome of slicing 5 and you can only fit like 7...
In my opinion just keep repeating the same steps. And I really personally don't care about lining them up perfectly as long as they're cut in half. That's just my opinion though

Micro plastic in your tomatoes if you cut the plastic
