COOKS ILLUSTRATED KITCHEN TIP: Saving Extra Tomato Paste
Many recipes call for only a small amount of tomato paste. While we prefer tomato paste from a tube, if you can only find it in a can, here’s how to store and freeze any leftovers. Open the other end of the can and discard the bottom. Slide the can into a plastic sandwich bag and freeze overnight. The next day, remove the can from the bag and run under hot water for a few seconds before pushing the frozen paste onto a cutting board. Slice into 1/4-inch rounds—about 1 tablespoon of paste each. Place the rounds back into the plastic bag and toss into the freezer for ready-to-use portions of tomato paste.

Do you know you can buy tomato paste in a tube so you can use it as you need it?

I love your square bowls. Where did you get them? Do you have a full service of square dishes?

You have made me some of the lentil soup to try while I recouperate – while I can’t wait to sample it, my mom and I just had your soon to be famous chicken pot pie and it has rendered us speechless. It was simply delicious and you should definitely add the recipe to your site when you get a chance along with your renowned cinnamon chocolate chip cookies. I will write again after trying the lentil soup (one of my favorite soups!) Thanks, Nicole
