This is Grandma’s Genius Tomato Paste Hack

You’ll never have to scoop and scoop to get all that tomato paste out of the can again.

Awhile back, I had asked my grandmother to come over to teach me how to prepare a certain Syrian recipe. And while I don’t remember what that recipe actually was, I remember this tomato paste hack she showed me.

Since then, I always open cans of tomato paste this way.

Simply open the top of the can using your can opener.

Then, open the bottom of the can and push the bottom up to push the tomato paste out of the can.

If you’re not using the whole can, that’s ok. You can still use this hack as you’ll need to transfer the remaining tomato paste to a different container anyway.

    I put the rest in a ziplock, freeze it flat. Then you just break of the amount you need!

    I use as much as I need from the tomato paste can and I scoop the rest by tablespoons on a smal plastic plate and freeze until solid. When frozen solid, transfer to a small zip bag. Recipes usually call for tomato paste amounts by tablespoons so you just pull as many as you need out of the zip bag. They defrost really quickly, usually fine to just put in whatever pan you are using and stir it around a little until the color turns to the color of bricks and then continue with the recipe.
