How to Dice Tomatoes Like a Chef (Without the Mess)

Let’s be real: dicing tomatoes can get messy fast. Seeds sliding, juice leaking, and skins that just won’t cooperate. But here’s the thing—chefs don’t just have skills; they have the right tools. And when it comes to mastering tomato prep, there’s one tool that cuts through the chaos with effortless precision: the serrated multi-purpose knife, 15cm/6in.

Small but mighty, this blade is the unsung hero of kitchen prep. Engineered to handle delicate produce and tougher skins alike, it turns a slippery tomato into uniform, chef-worthy cubes—no stress, no waste, no soggy cutting boards.

Why Serrated Works Better for Tomatoes

Let’s address one of the most searched questions: What knife is best for cutting tomatoes? The answer? A Serrated Multi-Purpose Knife. Unlike a straight-edge blade, serrated edges grip and glide through the tomato’s skin—no pressure, no tearing.

The 15cm/6in length gives you full control over each cut. It’s agile enough to navigate curves, firm enough to handle soft centres, and versatile enough to become your everyday go-to beyond tomatoes.

Step-by-Step: Dicing Tomatoes Like a Pro

1. Start with a Stable Base

Cut the tomato in half through the stem. This gives you a flat surface—less wobble, more control.

2. Remove the Core

Here’s your pro tip: Removing the core helps minimise seeds and juice. You’ll end up with cleaner cuts and a less watery finish—exactly what you want for salads, bruschetta or salsa.

3. Slice, Then Stack

Use your serrated knife to slice the tomato into thin slabs. Stack them, then cut vertically into strips. Rotate and cut again for a perfect dice.

4. Keep It Sharp, Keep It Serrated

The micro-serrations on the blade stay sharper longer, meaning you get consistent, confident cuts—again and again.

Built for More Than Tomatoes

Don’t box this knife into one task. It’s your kitchen MVP—ideal for citrus, crusty bread rolls, soft fruits, and anything with a tender inside and tough exterior. It’s intuitive, it’s smart, and above all—it’s made to work smarter, not harder.

The Final Slice

Dicing tomatoes doesn’t have to be a test of patience. With the right technique and the right knife, it becomes a moment of quiet mastery. So, if you’re still fumbling with a dull blade or smashing your cherry tomatoes into mush, it’s time to upgrade.

Pick up the 15cm/6in Serrated Multi-Purpose Knife—and slice like you mean it.
