How do you make tomatoes less watery?
Chef's answer
More simply put, in just a matter of minutes, salt will cause tomatoes to release their juices, resulting in fruit that's less watery and more intensely flavored. And that's not all! Salt stimulates your salivary glands, causing them to produce the saliva that distributes flavor to your taste buds.
