    Tbh i cant be bothered with extra lids that i need to clean up afterwards. I normally tend to use maybe 1-2 handful of cherry tomatoes anyways.
    Best tool for amateur cooks to save some time & get restaurant quality cuts is hands down the mandoline (unless you want to cut tomatoes). Very versatile, fast even cuts. Only downside is that its probably also the most dangerous tool in the kitchen.
