I love tomatoes, however sometimes they are hard to cut, no matter if they are large or small there is something about the skin of the tomato that is natures equivalent to kevlar armour.
Pushing down or sawing back and forth is not the way to cut tomatoes (as seen in first picture).

There's 2 easy ways to cut tomatoes:

1) use a bread knife.

2) first poke a small hole in tomato skin with point of knife (picture 2)
then follow through with the slice, just like magic! (picture 3)

Using this method will allow you to cut any type of tomato using almost any kind of knife. I cut my tomatoes into quarters, and left some as halfs.
