To core cherry tomatoes, simply slice off the top, then use a tomato corer (or a small knife) to twist and remove the core and seeds from the inside.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
- Slice the top off: Using a sharp knife, carefully slice off the very top of the cherry tomato. This exposes the core.
- Use a tomato corer or knife: A tomato corer is the ideal tool, but a small knife can also work.
- Twist and remove: Insert the corer or knife into the tomato, twist it gently to loosen the core and seeds, and then carefully pull it out.
- Discard or use the core: Discard the core and seeds, or save them for making vegetable stock.
