Jean in Newcastle Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 What do you do if you have some cut tomato left over? Do you store that then in the fridge? Or out of the fridge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsrevmeg Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 If I cut it, I usually put it in the fridge. It gets icky leaving it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margo out of lurking Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Definitely. Once it's cut, then it gets wrapped and put in the fridge. I find small tupperware bowls helpful. If possible, I try to store, for example, entire halves of tomatoes, instead of several slices. But if I have leftover slices, I save those too, but I wouldn't slice them specifically before storing unless I had a compelling reason (ease of sandwich making for young child).

Firefly Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I keep mine out, cut side down on a plate or piece of wax paper, and try to use it up asap. IMO a refrigerated tomato is a tasteless, mushy, nasty thing. LOL If I can't use it up quickly I will put it in the fridge, and use it for something like an omlette or soup, where the mealy texture and flavorless-ness are lost in the cooking process anyway.

Danestress Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I store them out of the fridge because they taste better raw that way. After I have cut into one, I store it in the fridge and typically throw the leftovers into something I am cooking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I keep tomatoes out of the refrigerator unless they're getting close to the point of being over-ripe. Once I cut them, though, I wrap the leftover piece in plastic wrap and refrigerate it. If we haven't eaten it by the next day, it goes into the trash.
