Grilling
Elite tomatoes do well when grilled or baked – for example, in the oven with a little olive oil, garlic and herbs for a delicious, rich flavour.
Peeling tomatoes
Make a small cross in the skin at the bottom of the tomato. Immerse it in boiling water for about 20 to 30 seconds, then immediately place it in ice-cold water. The skin will loosen and can be removed easily.
Ripen tomatoes faster
Are your tomatoes still too firm to eat? Help them ripen faster by placing an apple next to them for a few hours or up to a day. Apples produce ethylene, which speeds up the ripening process in tomatoes.
