How to Make Tomato Paste in Sicily 

Great comment mate.

@@mauriceschaeffer5070 thank you

That's why it only works in Sicily

Well you could maybe mimic the outside drying by building a huge air drying box lined with foil and with climate control, an air extractor, infrared LEDs, white LEDs, and ultraviolet-A wavelength LEDs. Hugely complex to just "sun dry" but we humans are capable of mimicking nature :P

@@underdude9818 how much would that cost vs how much tomato puree costs?

Thank you. It is very helpful.

You talked a little too fast can you explain it, but slower?

Chainsaw the table up and use the wood in the smoker 🤣

@@IAMALISONROSE that's not even a joke. I guarantee whatever you make with that wood would come out awesome.

When a table breaks or chips, they just make tomato pasta from the table.

@@jacobp.2024 so I tried it with a whole chicken, butter and the tomato wood in my smoker. And holy fuck shit was it amazing, but let's get to the details. I didn't use a table, I just poured salted boiled down tomato juice on a wood slab, scraped the extra and smoked that bitch. Mmmm, Smokey butter tender chicken with tomato undernotes. Edit: I used asian spices because fuck yes, and I had it with tomato rice.

If you try to do that in england you are not going to get what you want. If you tried to do that in south Brazil where I live you wouldn't be able to do that because of the huge amount of water in the air. The air in italy is very dry, I wouldn't be surprised if it didn'tn work in other places.

OmegaGamingNetwork Aayy!

Economy of scale my friend

But I'm pretty sure your tube is prepared in a factory with large pans that just evaporate all the water rather than on a farm with sun drying. The stuff in this video is probably better quality, it looks redder to me at least.

I do it the same thing and also i do the hot pepper paste that we call harissa in tunisia the same way but with spices and garlic

imagine all the insect larva in that tomato paste, yumm and thats just the start

The natural acidity prevents that.

Good argument. I guess you'll also find the argument "BUT THAT'S HOW IT WAS DONE BEFORE HURRDURR" compelling enough when your doctor tries to cover you in leeches next time you have a cough.

While they eat their McDonalds.

That reminds me of a student in biology today. He asked "If we have antibiotics now, that can heal people, then how did people get along in the past?" Everyone just replied: "They died"

They just scrape away the tomatoes. The juice doesn't stain the wood. They use water and then leave them in the sun to dry.

Thanks for the reply, pretty surprised that method works!

Tomato stains are UV sensitive, meaning that they become lighter the more UV they come in contact with. Given these tables are outdoors all of the time (assumed) it would explain why they're not permanently stained red.

The UV rays from the sun will kill any bacteria; so I’m not worried about any contamination.

Lol right cause bacteria don't exist anywhere sunny. The confidence people have in their ignorance is astounding.

did she make anything else that she cooked/dried with the sun? Did she bring it in at night and dry again in the daytime? very cool technique

@Ralph im gay

80% people complaining about people complaining about people complaining about hygiene 20% people complaining about people complaining about hygiene

How else would you make sun dried tomatoes that they sell in the store, in a package?

@Ralph and turn it into wine

@Richard Ainsworth As an Asian, our standard of hygiene in food preparation that the West, heck, I served food to my customer with my hands and when I am a customer I don't mind one or two strand of hair.

If you look into anything that's grown it's always nasty. Per 100 grams, FDA allows either 10 fly eggs, five fly eggs and one maggot, or two maggots in most tomato products.

Look at the replies of the people complaint about complainers.

Welcome to the internet

All I see Europeans talking shit about Americans for 0 reason.

@NoNoNoNii Nah that's anywhere. Does your country have bugs? Then your food is also "full" of nasty shit. It's funny how idiots think us Americans have shit food. Yes I could buy garbage 50 cent trash just like anywhere in the WORLD. But I can also get very high quality food. Maybe you haven't noticed but the U.S is gigantic. We have so much arable land, it's a joke. We have the highest access to very high quality food and we pay the least for it. Only nasty and very poor people buy 50 cent canned meat etc at Walmart.

Yes and no. They've been boiled before the dehydration process.

All the flying insect poo gives it added flavour and texture.

McDonald’s is actually very clean because the business model is a franchise and franchisers are expected to keep their McDonald’s strictly up to hygiene standards so they aren’t a liability for McDonald’s (the franchisor)

I think these tables have rounded edges and a smooth surface.

you can see the guy making sure there arent before they put it on the tables

Vanessa that what I was thinking too

Polished and stained

Vanessa , splinters ? You are worried about splinters? How about flies ??

Glad you liked the video!

i think they bring it inside at night so that it doesn't re-humidify with morning dew

Yeah leaving your food outside completely exposed in the summer for days isn't unhygienic at all. Definitely no bird shirt and flies and insects crawling around it all.

@@Dvlx1 I'm sure you'll be fine. How many McDonald's Happy Meals did you eat in your lifetime I wonder...

I’ll take modernized food over insect-ridden, unhygienic, drought stricken food any day. Go ahead and trade that modern trash for the stuff from 300 years ago and see how long you last. India is a good place to try it out

@@user-ke4kz3in9j How come you think we dont have insects in our food? Anything processed will have a ton of insects in it since they just get mulched up together with the veggies.

Phragmochaeta Canicularis no I’m comparing the hygienic standards of western civilization to countries that have not caught up yet. The Ganges river is one of the most polluted rivers in the world, and yet it’s used for drinking water, bathing, and crop irrigation. That kind of ignorance was common place in western society only a couple hundred years ago. I’m saying if you prefer the old ways over modernized farming and cleanliness, try out India and see how far you get.

Your comment doesn’t make any sense bruh

@@youngmetro3times849 I'm sorry. I'm saying that most people wont ever eat tomato paste that's been made using this process.

Kyparn and it’s a damn shame, because this stuff probably tastes much better

It's sad that people see something like this and go, "Ewww, sun dried tomatoes" but happily consume food loaded with toxic chemicals and preservatives. Those wooden tables looked super clean, and I didn't see a single fly.

Rafael Artiga I Kind a wish I was like yeah I’d rather grow than eat them

People who keep saying its not hygienic dont know about biology. This might not be a safe process to do with any food. But fermenting and drying foods and other preserving methods are so great because it uses the foods own properties to kill off bacteria and insects.

@@deathspenalty I wish someone could have just said that in the 100 reply thread full of idiots I scanned through, If you know nothing about food processing and biology it's not absurd to think 'Is a wooden table outside overnight hygenic?' but apparently people would rather rip each other apart..

@@iLordNoob I don't think they leave it outside over night... no sun out, so it wouldn't really condense well and also in the video it shows them setting it up again the next morning, unless that was just moving it around the tables. It never said whether it was overnight or not.

But nothing will stop flies from laying their nasty eggs.

Pallab Dutta It depends. Tomato scent is not rotten fish or meat scent, and it doesen't attract flies so badly. There should be also continuously one of the makers patrolling the surface of the tomato paste with a flabellum (not shown in the video) so then flies are dissuaded to land on tomato paste. The tomato chemistry acid + sugary + salt also is enough so that eggs will not open preventing larvae to spread around... And in the end when putting tomato paste in the jars, then the jars are being boiled last time (not shown in the video). No flies eggs will survive. If you dislike artisancraft made tomato paste for such a reason, you can easily buy any industrial versions of tomato paste that are HACCP controlled.

Pallab Dutta Yes, flies typically lay eggs in rotten, decaying materials and faeces, not fresh tomato paste.

@@PallabDutt Flies don't lay eggs in acid you idiot lol
