June 17, 2014 by Becky

Today I have a great tip for you–how to cut grape tomatoes quickly and easily!  {Plus a to-die-for recipe that just happens to need grape tomato halves!}  With this simple method I can cut a dry pint of grape tomatoes in less than a minute!

Tomato Tip 9 main

All you need are tomatoes {or grapes or olives or any small, soft food you want to cut in half}, 2 lids {from same-size tupperware, sour cream, etc…I use plastic jam container lids}, and a sharp knife {I find a good bread knife works great for this trick}.Tomato Tip 1Place the tomatoes on one of the lids, making sure the lip of the lid is facing up to hold the tomatoes together.

Tomato Tip Collage 1Place the other lid, lip down, over the tomatoes.  They should stay securely between the lids.

Tomato Tip Collage 2Press firmly on the top lid to hold the tomatoes in place (but not hard enough to smash them) and cut the the tomatoes between the lids.  In just a few seconds, they will all be evenly cut in half!
