The rest of my post. No it doesn't. It creates a tomato without seeds used in most upscale cuisines. Most cultures have at least two styles of cooking. Classical and provincial. Seeded tomatoes are used in the classical style. Haute cuisine vs Cuisine bourgeoise. It is a cooking thing. Thai cuisine is also different between farmers and the privileged folks. A-harn Chao Wang, meaning food for people living in the palace. The dishes are prepared to please the eye and the palate always, with a lot of attention to details As convenient to eat as possible: vegetables cut into bite size so you won't have to cut them again on your plate, the prawn head removed, the long vegetables tied into a knot (therefore no cutting on your plate is required) etc. A book written by a royal chef, who cooked for princes and princesses, mentioned that the whole fish was served boneless... not fillet but someone spent time removing bones from the whole fish! The rule of thumb is that everything on the plate must be edible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post wayned Posted February 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2018 I just went and talked to my cook! He said that if he is going to cook with tomatoes other than stir fry he hot peels them and doesn't remove the seeds. When the tomatoes are used for sandwiches, stir fry or salads, he cold peels them with a sharp knife. The seeds are usually only removed if there is a large white core in the tomato. If they are going to be used for sandwiches he usually slices them earlier in the day and puts them in a plastic container with some sliced onions and a little wine vinegar, olive oil and Italian seasoning to improve the flavor. He also says that he brought a couple of those nice looking big tomatoes in the market a few years ago and when he cut into them they were dry rotted. During the conversation I did have a chance to clean the bathroom mirror and he actually had the audacity to ask for a raise! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeptic7 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 For what it's worth...surely not much... ...my vote... NEVER remove seeds from tomatoes...no need, unless making puree. However, I do usually remove the "core" from the top 1/3 - 1/2...though not necessary and GF never does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people eat the poop in shrimp. Others like coffee beans picked out of cat poop. It is all a matter of taste and how you were raised. My father ate Limburger cheese and my dog loves Stilton Cheddar. Of course my dog likes old baby diapers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked my Indian doctor and he said, " Sahib, carefully slice the tomato in half around what would be the equator line so that one half has the stem and one half has the bottom. Then use a ¼ teaspoon, or another small spoon, and scoop the tomato seeds out and discard them. Don’t scrape too deeply into the flesh of the tomato. The seeds carry much of the acid content of the tomato plant, so removing them altogether is a great way to reduce the acidity and your stomach won't be bothered by excessive acidity.

tutsiwarrior Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) I remove the seeds from cucumbers before slicing for a salad...an easier way to remove the excess moisture than the 'salt' method... and I had the last bit of the reheated potato and cabbage curry sitting on the counter, this time with yogurt mixed in after the reheating, mighty fine...and then the ants attacked the toast that I had sitting alongside and ruined everything... tmw: curried cauli and potato soup...excellent, excellent...

Popular Post vogie Posted February 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2018 On 10/01/2018 at 7:11 PM, grollies said: @vogie I've cured bacon three times, once using a dry rub, second time a wet cure and third time back to dry rub. I found the dry rub best but I'm struggling with the right cut of meat. I've used belly pork type cut previously. I dry cure with salt, ground pepper, honey and, tried once, celery (for preservative properties). Last time the bacon cooked a bit hard and salty. Soak well after dry cure maybe....? 24 hours...? What cut do you use and do you order it especially if not a standard cut? I have a pork supplier who can give me different cuts of meat maybe. Yours must be good if you've invested in a slicer. Manage to find some decent belly pork, the secret was to go to the market really early, will give it a go. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
