-
Take your tomato (of an average size) and place it on you worktop / counter.
-
Hold your knife above the tomato – not too far up but just enough space for it to fall down.
-
Release! If your knife pierces into the tomato, it means it is sharp enough to use still. If it bounces off, you should probably bring it over to the store to get it sharpened! ;)
