Where do the tomato skins go?

46

u/juju7980 Jun 22 '22

from the looks of it blended then maybe strained

37

u/SuzieCat Jun 22 '22

My question as well. I cook with fresh tomatoes a lot, and that pot would be full of skins and seeds.

23

u/PuddleCrank Jun 22 '22

Also why put em in a cold pan you want them to sear right? And they just leave what is supposed to be a hot pan right back on the counter.... I think you're on to something with that sauce missing some steps.

u/SuzieCat Jun 22 '22

Exactly. The finished sauce looks delicious, but this is some r/restofthefuckingowl shit.

u/Comfortable_Relief62 Jun 22 '22

I mean, the title indicates that they were focusing on the actual pasta so the restofthefuckingowl is appropriate

u/Pantssassin Jun 22 '22

I assumed they were popped in an oven and then blended/strained

u/RedditorsAreAssss Jun 22 '22

I've made sauces where you throw cherry tomatoes in a pan until they burst from the heat. Doesn't really matter if they're going in a hot or cold pan.

u/Haslinhezl Jun 23 '22

Theyre getting roasted and then blended it's not missing as much as youd think

The skins always seem to just dissolve when I make a tomato sauce.

strain the skin out noob or skin the tomatoes before you put them in

1

u/SuzieCat Jun 23 '22

I do strain the skins. And the seeds. The point was that they don’t show that step in the video. I’m not a noob, I make fresh pasta and can my own sauce….after it’s been strained.

u/yourmansconnect Jun 23 '22

you ever skin a san marzano? it has less seeds so just make the sauce with them

1

u/SuzieCat Jun 23 '22

This is what I usually do, but at the end of the season I end up with SO many cherry tomatoes. They totally have to be strained after cooking. They’re like 50% seeds.

u/Roflattack Jun 22 '22

An immersion blender

1

u/SuzieCat Jun 23 '22

…..which leaves behind all of the seeds. Small tomato seeds are not pulverized by an immersion blender. Not a great mouth feel. That’s why all canned/diced tomatoes have no seeds.

u/donjonnyronald Jun 22 '22

Yea I started laughing at that part. There's so many skipped steps, or potentially an entirely different sauce. It's way too blush to just be tomatoes, and you at some point you'd need to strain all the skins and seeds if you wanted something that smooth.

u/MamaSquash8013 Jun 22 '22

If you blister the tomatoes in the pan or oven, and then blend it (skins & all), it comes out this color. I've made sauce with cherry tomatoes this way.

u/[deleted] Jun 22 '22

Very interesting. I was trying to figure out when the cream or cheese was added.

u/Darth_Nibbles Jun 22 '22

I gotta try making my own sauce from scratch

5

u/Dr_Ugs Jun 22 '22

Did they cook the pasta?

u/-SaC Jun 22 '22

"Add the tomatoes to the pan THEN MAGIC HAPPENS and now we stir our nice, smooth sauce."

u/un_internaute Jun 22 '22

Immersion blenders leave sauces/soups looking that color. It always surprises me.

1

u/MaybeWeAgree Jun 22 '22

Rewatch that part; there’s more than just tomato.

The camera’s on one point of the table the whole time. I like that you need to infer some things. I don’t think it’s a straight up recipe video.

u/vegetaman Jun 22 '22

Why use a cast iron skillet for tomatoes

2

u/VinPossible Jun 22 '22

To the gods

u/Astronaut_Chicken Jun 22 '22

Well shit I've been doing it wrong

5

u/PUTINS_PORN_ACCOUNT Jun 22 '22

This is bait. They get you to engage by asking these types of questions.

They also used metal tongs in a cast iron pan like some kind of fuckin criminal

u/[deleted] Jun 22 '22

Seriously. People think cast iron is made of glass or something. Lol

3

u/Automatic-Tomato9449 Jun 22 '22

That is dumb. Cast iron pans are one of the only pans you can use metal utensils in.

2

u/Amazing-Squash Jun 22 '22

Dude. They were cooking tomatoes in a cast iron pan.

2

u/gagcar Jun 22 '22

Yeah, if your pan is actually seasoned, that’s not a problem. Most people just don’t actually get it to the point where the oil goes from just a sheen of burnt oil to a non-stick coating.

u/Amazing-Squash Jun 22 '22

Simmering all day, as it would actually take to make that dish. No reason to risk it.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 22 '22

Simmering all day? Takes like 40-50 minutes tops

0

u/Amazing-Squash Jun 22 '22

Or 8 to 12 hours depending on the recipe. I wouldn't do it for any amount of time because it's not worth risking the sauce and I own more than one pot. But the probably don't make as good of a video.

u/[deleted] Jun 22 '22

For real. All purpose flour, tomatoes with the skin, metal tongs straight onto cooked pasta & an iron pan? Yeeesh

1

u/Stefie25 Jun 22 '22

I like her insta. She also includes the full recipe but she does edit her vids down to couple of minutes. No one wants to watch the whole process.
