Quick Method: Halving Cherry Tomatoes

I learned this trick at a cooking class and it saves you major time! No more standing there slicing each individual cherry tomato, one at a time. Sure, every tomato might not be perfectly halved, but that’s okay! This method also works with olives and grapes.

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• well sharpened slicing or chef knife
• 2 tupperware lids of same size

Instructions

1. Place cherry tomatoes on the top surface of a Tupperware lid.
2. Cover the top of the tomatoes with another Tupperware lid that’s the same size. Make sure that the top surface of the lid is touching the tomatoes. Using a long knife, slice through the tomatoes while holding your other hand on top of the Tupperware lid and apply light pressure.
