Cutting tomatoes: This trick makes it quick and easy

If you have to cut a lot of tomatoes for a salad or other dishes, you can really save time and effort with the following tricks.

• Place the tomatoes on a small or medium-sized plate. Then place a plate of the same size on top.

• Now take a long and sharp knife and run it from one side to the other between the two plates.

• Hold the top plate a little while doing this, but do not press too hard on the tomatoes.

• You can then remove the plate and continue to process the halved tomatoes.
