Common questions
Is the Cirio 3 kg tin good for a pizza party?
Yes, that is exactly its niche. A single 3 kg tin of whole peeled tomatoes makes enough raw sauce for many pizzas at a lower cost per gram than small cans, so it suits batch cooking and gatherings. Hand-crush and season with salt as you would any pelati.
How long do opened canned tomatoes keep?
Move any unused tomatoes to a sealed container in the fridge and use within about three to five days, or freeze the surplus, which is handy with a large 3 kg tin. Do not leave them in the opened can, as the metal can affect the flavor.
