How to Use a Food Processor for Diced Tomatoes
Dicing tomatoes by hand can be a slow, laborious process especially if you have a lot of tomatoes to dice. A food processor is the perfect kitchen appliance that will do the job for you in a fraction of the time. The key to using a food processor for diced tomatoes is to use the pulse feature of the processor so that you do not over-process the tomatoes into a sauce like texture.
