Crushing Tomatoes Neatly
by Alice Osborne
Most brands of canned crushed tomatoes contain a fair amount of tomato skin that can detract from (even ruin) certain dishes, so we tried canned whole tomatoes instead. But when we tried to crush them at home with our hands, the juice squirted all over the place and made a huge mess, no matter how deep a bowl we used.
Our solution to this was to put the whole tomatoes in a plastic bag (the type available in the grocery store produce department). Here's what you do: Put one hand into the bag, close it around your wrist with your other hand, and crush away, with no fear of making a mess. Smart, huh?
