Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
The Big Boy and beefsteak tomatoes in Grandma's garden were full of seeds. Her easy way of getting the seeds out before using the tomatoes in a salad was to cut the tomatoes around the "equator," then hold the tomato halves over the garbage pail or food disposal and squeezed gently until the seeds came out.
