This tip was on Rachael Ray’s season premier – she gave the credit to a Food Network intern named “Phil”.

To slice cherry or grape tomatoes - or grapes for that matter – you’ll need "very specialized" tools: matching deli or plastic ware lids with a lip . Layer your chosen product within the lip of one lid. Place the other on top, again with the lip containing the produce. Apply slight pressure on the upper lid, and slice across with a serrated knife. Done!

I’ve got to believe that this is much faster (and less tedious) than slicing them one by one…

Finding a simpler way to do ANYTHING is not a lazy option – I’ve always preferred “working smart” to “working hard” – don’t you? Thanks Rach and Phil for a great idea!
