More helpful tomato tips:
- When selecting, choose tomatoes that have shiny skins that are light red in color. They should be firm and have an aroma similar to the tomato plant. Avoid any with blemishes and dull, dark red skins, which indicates that the tomato is overripe. If the tomato lacks aroma, it generally lacks flavor.
- If tomatoes are under-ripe, place them in a brown paper bag and store them overnight in a dark area, or try placing them in a covered bowl with an apple. The apple gives off ethylene gas, which hastens ripening.
- Firm up overripe tomatoes by placing them in a bowl of cold salt water and leaving them sit overnight.
- It is best to boil tomatoes with the skin, this will help retain the shape of the tomato.
- Avoid cooking in an aluminum pot, the tomato will develop an unpleasant metal taste which can also be harmful to the person consuming the tomato.
- To remove juices from cooked tomato recipes, allow them to sit overnight in a bowl in the refrigerator. The juices will rise to the top and can then be spooned off.
