Question by Dok: What’s the best way to keep a used(sliced) tomato fresh?
Ok.. So I have a nice big & juicy vine riped tomato. I cut it in half and use only one half in my patented parmesan spaghetti recipe:)
The other half I want to save to use another day. Now, quoting a line from the movie Speed…. What do I do? What… do… I…. do?
I want it to stay fresh but I know refrigeration is out of the question. Is there another way to keep it fresh once it’s been cut?

Why is refrigeration out of the question? I always put tomatoes back in the fridge. I put them in really tight sealed glass pyrex tupperware.
I do put my tomatos back in the fridge BUT first, I take a paper towel, wet it and wrap the tomato with the wet paper towel. It will last several days like this. By wetting the paper towel, the tomato does not dry out. Do not put it in the coldest area of the fridge because it will freeze with the wet towel on it. I usually stick it on the main shelf with everything else.
Wrap it in plastic tightly and put it in the refrigerator. Who told you not to refrigerate it? It will definitely go bad if not cooled.
Another solution to this problem would be to double the size of your sauce recipe and freeze the extra for next time. The sauce will freeze just fine.

The cooking shows all say not to refrigerate tomatoes because it causes some irreversible reaction to it’s make-up.
