Question by Whitney R: What is the best pesticide to use on tomato plants?
I’m growing two tomato plants in seperate containers. On one of my plants some type of bug is eating the foliage at the bottom of the plant. They seem to be leaving the actual fruit alone, but it’s making the plant look awful. I found a black looking caterpillar on the plant that I knocked off and killed. I’m thinking that might be the problem bug. Also, I’ve tried insecticidal soap but it doesn’t seem to be helping.

If I’m not wrong I remember that there are some problem about botuline toxine by “canning” certein foods like tomatoes.. so it’s a bit risky..!
I have no idea.
what the fuck did i just read?
my best friends father growing up used to tell me it was the dumbest thing in the world to add sugar to your tomato sauce, BUT, every great chef says add it and its always very good so I disagree with him…..
I went to Claro’s Italian market in Arcadia, California and found Italbrand Plum Tomato’s with Basil Leaf. A 28oz can costs only $5.29!

FUNNYJUNK!!! NIGGA!!!
yum.
Oh my this is truly tasty and out of this world. Bravo!.
Never use can tomatoes-they are pasterised already that means they are cooked so if you cook it another time you destroy the left vitamins..
You obviously haven’t seen “real” chefs cooking.
Well, good for your mother.
Anything that comes from a can may have BPA – female hormones. Use real tomatoes – peel, remove the seeds you can and sub in a teaspoon of cream of tartar or arrowroot powder for that tomato paste.
So just because your mom has been cooking for years that makes her an authority on good food? My parents have been cooking authentic American food for longer than your wop mother, and they can’t cook for shit. At least I have the balls and palate to realize it.
The semantics of what constitutes a “real chef” aside, we can all agree that fresh ingredients out of a garden will 99% of the time be a better choice than something that has come out of a package that has been sitting in a warehouse.
My mother would be appalled if she saw this, and she’s been making authentic italian tomato sauce for 40 years. Tomato paste? gross.
Chef John, what is the role of the tomato paste?? Just before you add the crushed tomatoes. LOVE your recipes and I’ve learned a lot…
I have to ask since I just found out about you, is this the same sauce recipe that you used in your Chicken Parmesan Casserole HD video?

u can make same for 5 minutes,its enough to cook it just just 1-2 minutes u dont have to cook for hour and a half
Yummy and so easy…thank you!
@radjehuty I really like you comments. You sound like someone who like to food & does it well.
San Marzano tomatoes are grown in volcanic soil which is said to give them incredible plumpness.
good luck in the modern world my fantasy driven friend.
Hi, I’m new to cooking. I was wondering
why simmering is so important? how does it affect the final taste?
thanks
I must have made 1000 tomato sauces over the years , and IMHO the regular whole tomato from CENTO is the best the world has to offer . It’s the same tomato that a lot of the world’s best Italian restaurants use . If you like throwing your money out the window or you honestly like those sweet Marzano tomatoes then have at it . But give the CENTO a try , they are less than half the price at my Italian store .
