quick tip: whole canned tomatoes
So this is another one of those, quick and easy tips, that I used to do as a kid.
When using canned whole tomatoes, you can, and I often do, break up the tomatoes using your hands.
However, if you are squeamish, and don’t like getting your hands messy, or serving guests, an easy way to break up whole tomatoes, is to just stick kitchen shears into the can itself, and cut them directly.
You end up with a whole can of tomato goodness.
