Finally somebody did it with a SUN.

[@GetCooking]

yes!

@@GetCooking how you didn't make any videos on how to make rustica passata I don't understand. 😊

[@GetCooking]

funny you say that! i was thinking the same thing recently! will have to get going considering i make it all the time anyway at home!

[@theonewhomjesusloves7360]

not supposed to face your lens to the sun

[@Rulzan]

why, you only saw people doing it with two Suns?

[@Vandalle.]

"I took 4 days because I've got warm Italian sun, of course if you need 5 days then use 5 days" I'm in England, I'd need about 12 years

I’m in Scotland so make that 120 years! Ha ha

[@benluciwallah]

Hahahahahahahaha!

[@mynameisrufusdude]

I live in New Zealand, it will take two hours and the tomatoes will have skin cancer

[@minnoux]

Hahahaha😂

[@JH-nb4nn]

I have an obsession with sun dried tomatoes in my salad. I'm going to try this when my tomatoes ripen....Thank yoou

[@GetCooking]

Hope you enjoy

[@jasonstarr6419]

I'm adopted, but my biological mother was Italian - CapoBianca - from the northeastern United States. I understand from what little i know of her that she was a first generation American born Italian. So, when I see images of the Italian countryside, and hear the voices of Italy, it pulls my heartstrings. Not to mention the amazing foods. Thank you for your video. New sub.

[@GetCooking]

Thank you! Hope you will have a chance to travel around Italy...it is just such a happy place!

[@sundara4654]

Watching it from india on may month, you said 3 to 4 days for them to dry, in here it probably take 3 to 4 hours, weather is over 40 degrees here, I'm gonna try this at end of this month

[@GetCooking]

let me know how you get on! make sure that all the moisture has gone...italy in the summer is also 40 degrees and takes 3 days.

[@ileanabetancourt63]

Omg ‼️I love this

[@gmargenka8983]

Thank you! Will try this summer!!

[@erickahazele1789]

Now my problem is solved (I've got so much tomatoes from my garden), I will definitely try your method of sun drying. Thank you for making this video.

[@GetCooking]

Great! I hope they will turn out great!

[@jocelynuba9350]

Wow

[@patriciadavis7444]

THANKS FOR THE INFO MANY BLESSINGS ❤❤❤

[@GetCooking]

Same to you!

[@yazeedzailaee7215]

Dry cool place? Like the living room or the fridge? Thanks for video, you make it look simple. I live in an apartment building with no patio or balcony so i’ll try to put them between two racks and stick it out the window lol

[@GetCooking]

or in the oven keep oven off just keep light on, that will warm it up enough to dry over a couple of days

[@richardhnat6265]

@@GetCooking Hey, i didn't quite get that. Should I put them in the fridge after taking them off the sun ?

[@Nathan-wn5mc]

Those are beautiful. I could never find tomatoes that beautiful here in Texas. Our soils are tainted.

[@GetCooking]

Oh no! would have though with the sun you guys would have nice produce....one day i will come over and try the bbq scene...

[@michaelatillinghast4648]

What is the variety of tomato that you grow in the video? It’s a beautiful shade of red.

[@GetCooking]

They are Pendolini, super sweet as well as very beautiful

[@xenoragel8]

The accent and the hand gestures. VERY ITALIAN. Hahaha

[@GetCooking]

😂😂

[@HawaiiTW]

What type the herb we can put in? Thx 🎉

[@GetCooking]

thyme, marjoram, basil, garlic if you like...stuff like that

[@mrnkaija]

amazing! thanks for this knowledge how do you keep the birds away 😀?

[@GetCooking]

Hi! The salt over will keep the animals away

[@elmarama1396]

If you want them to stay fresh longer can you also vacuum pack them without the Olive Oil, and then put in Olive Oil when you need?

[@GetCooking]

Never tried it that way, but dont see how they would stay fresher longer?

[@noddy_ji]

After the drying process, when yiu wash the salt off and then pat dry. Obviously all the water won't dry off and thats okay yes? I live in Goa so hot weather here too. Just confirming that if a little water stays on womt spoil the tomatoes after adding the olive oil?

[@GetCooking]

you need to remove the water completely, so pat them dry and if you want keep them a few mins again in direct sun light. Water is the enemy as it will start fermentation in the jar, which you dont want.

[@noddy_ji]

@@GetCooking Alright, grazie mille so much for the clarification. And sorry for the typing errors earlier.

[@sicboy83]

“Do you know how to make sun dried tomatoes at home?” No sir, that’s why I am here

[@cayelynngreen]

What’s the best type of tomato to use for this??

[@GetCooking]

you need to find sweet tomatoes like cherry, pendolino, piccadilly

[@jr1638]

Can I use sunflower oil?

[@GetCooking]

You could but it is all about what flavour you want to achieve. With olive oil is more flavourful. Vegetable oil is much more neutral

[@ctrus]

​@@GetCookingis because some of us don't like the flavor of olive oil

[@TheIntJuggler]

@@ctrusAngry Italian sounds.

[@mansiagrawal1192]

I have just put them out in the sun. I think they'll be done in a few days. I have a quick question though can I put them in the fridge when I bring them inside the house during the drying process. I am scared they'll rot if I leave them at room temperature.

[@GetCooking]

I would avoid the fridge. As long as it is not humid, inside is fine. If you have a humid house put it in the oven (keep oven switched off) but the oven provides a safe non humid environment

[@mansiagrawal1192]

Okay, thanks for replying so fast.

[@sevildallikavak6895]

Do you salt it everyday ? For 4 days ?

[@GetCooking]

no salt only first day

[@Viva8743]

Can you make other types of tomatoes like Roma, Mama Mia, Gross Lissi, Beef Steak Tomatoes for sun drying???

[@GetCooking]

you want one with a high pulp to water ratio, usually the smaller tomatoes are better

[@JohnJohn-jq7cd]

So how do you keep bugs and vermine away for 4-6 days? What are the advantages over using a oven?

[@GetCooking]

Salt will keep animals away. Advantage is the sun provides a slow process and will make the tomatoes very sweet

[@momocake6355]

This can’t be done in the Uk. We don’t usually get 5 days Sun 😂😢😅

[@GetCooking]

True! Ehehe go to Tesco

[@yolanda6392]

Just wait till july. 4 days sun and then a storm on the 5th day 🤣

[@Workinggirlhomestead]

I worry about bugs I live in Florida

[@GetCooking]

Technically the salt will prevent bugs from sitting on it…we have all sort in the farm and they dont sit on the tomatoes

[@cut--]

I have hundred and hundred (1000 maybe) cherry tomatoes and it's the end of the season. This looks like a good way to use them up. Thank you and I subbed!

[@GetCooking]

Brilliant thanks!

[@navathepsachdev1175]

Do you use Extra virgin or Normal Olive oil?

[@GetCooking]

Extra virgin for best results. It is all about the quality you want to achieve.

[@andreus_777]

So boiling in water with vinegar isn’t necessary?

[@GetCooking]

dont believe it is

[@andreus_777]

@@GetCooking sorry I didn’t get it. A lot of people say that it’s necessary for preserving. But everybody says you can store it up 3, maybe 4 months. I like your method more. But safety and shelf life.. So I’m a bit confused

[@richardgreen5637]

For me the seeds are biggest problem, once I started removing the seeds I have perfect results.

[@farfoor4ever]

what about the sand ? if a bit of wind happen it might fill with sand!!

[@GetCooking]

I guess it depends where you live! So make any necessary adjustments based on where you live

[@Mygraciously]

I just bought fabric mesh to cover

[@wix7657]

I wish I could try this, but here in the U.K. we only get about one or two hot days every year. I think I will have to invest in a dehydrator!

[@GetCooking]

Also works in the oven keeping just the light on, heats up just enough to try

[@TMADstudio]

What a cutie

[@theonewhomjesusloves7360]

how do you keep the birds from pooping on them??

[@GetCooking]

I know the birds in the area and they respect my sun dried tomatoes patch…so all good

[@sn5255]

do you not cover them with anything?

[@GetCooking]

No need. Salt keeps insects away. i bring them in the house over night and take them out again in the morning as the night humidity will darken the tomatoes

[@jasonn7328]

That wire mesh looks galvanized that can’t be good

[@umbraexsanguis]

What about flies? I guess they must be all over the place?

[@GetCooking]

Not at all…that’s why you add a lot of salt, draws moisture out but also prevents any insect from coming to contact with the tomatoes

[@minnoux]

I tried this and they were covered in fungus gnats or fruit flies not sure, maybe both! Had to throw them out😔

[@stelioskamanis4469]

Haha science how to dry Sun dry tomatoes 😂

[@bumblybeesknees5509]

What about birds and other wildlife? I feel like the deer mice wouldn't mind the salt 😅

[@GetCooking]

Eh? Understood nothing of what you said….

[@bumblybeesknees5509]

@@GetCooking you talk about the salt keeping away insects I was wondering if you have issues with birds, or mice , or other animals messing with the tomatoes while they are outside!

[@GetCooking]

@@bumblybeesknees5509not really. The net is kept high enough that little animals dont really have access to it.

they dont sit on the tomatoes given the salt on it
