Cut and Prepare for Cooking

What happens here

After washing, place the tomatoes on a clean cutting board. Using a sharp knife, ideally a fillet knife for precision, carefully slice each tomato. Roma tomatoes can be cut in half or quarters. Larger slicing tomatoes should be quartered. The goal is to open up the tomatoes, remove the stem end, and prepare them for cooking. Keep your knives sharp, as a dull knife can be more dangerous and lead to accidents. The presenter explicitly states that a sharp knife is preferred because a dull knife leads to more cuts. Collect all cut tomatoes into one or two large stockpots, depending on the quantity.

Goal: Chop tomatoes into suitable pieces for sauce and place them in stockpots.
