TOMATOES TOO WATERY? TIPS HOW TO FIX IT

[@joevega5477]

I am not a pizza master. I woul have put excess tomato water on the other can.

[@pepelezmon22]

Good

[@jordypolfliet6911]

This is a good solution, but most home bakers have plenty on just 1 (even smaller) can. Opening another hoping it's the opposite in water/tomato ratio is not gonna work out.

[@RichGuano]

If one too watery and one too thick, it would be good idea to blend the two together, they be just right. LOL

[@vitoiacopelli]

+RichGuano yes definitely but this video is just a tips how to fix it in two different cases:0)

[@rkmugen]

Agreed with both of you. This tip is valuable at least for me, who makes pizza at home (aiming for Neapolitan style with what I already have at home.... a 550 degree gas oven+broiler and baking steel; no baking stone yet). Because I live by myself, and maybe make pizza about once per week on average, I find it difficult to go through an entire single can (of that size) for when I make pizza. One whole can would normally last me 2.5 weeks in the fridge.... 3 weeks if i'm lucky - it is too much sauce for a home-cook like me. And by the time I am able to get to finish the sauce after storing it, the taste isn't so fresh anymore. :\ But in ANY case, I also ran into those problems: when I go through one can is too watery. By the time I start the next month/period of making pizzas, when I open the next can of tomatoes it could also be too thick. My point is, I almost never open more than one can of tomatoes at a time; because I hate to waste anything. So yes: the tip of either adding more water, or dumping the tomato juice is a very useful tip! Grazie, Vito! But for me, if I was forced to dump the tomato juice, I would actually save it for something else..... like for making a Bloody Mary drink (tomato juice+vodka+Tabasco+etc)... or even saving it to add to a pot of clams and mussels with some wine. ^_^

[@vitoiacopelli]

rkmugen ho yes trust me I save the juice too for meatballs but in this video was more easy to explain like this :0) grazie

[@allengrantham6693]

Vito Iacopelli Have you done on video on how to make meatballs?

[@samiajre6852]

you made my night looooooooooooooool

[@steez54321]

It's so simple but genius at the same time.

[@KennyInVegas]

I noticed that also.... I drain off some water most of the time. Too much water in sauce makes for a bad pizza. Thanks for video!

[@neilrose7621]

Pour the watery tomato sauce into the other one - why waste it?

[@rajeshjana5391]

Bcoz most of the people don't have two canes of tomatoes 😂

[@faresrock1809]

so true

[@Vlad-uz6it]

Sometimes with San Marzzano tomatoes (depending on the company), the sauce around the whole tomatoes are made from crushed lower quality tomatoes. It's not uncomoon to dump some of that out because the taste isn't as good as the other whole tomatoes.

[@barfman7767]

You can also boil/simmer the watery tomatoes, that will reduce the moisture content.

[@davidronson8712]

LOL, I was expecting some secret trick from the Roman era, dump the water,LOL, I do this to the soup when I buy a minestrone , half of it water, I dump the water, and I am not a chef.

[@O-.-O]

And if something is itching you, scratch it 😂😂😂

[@jamescordero5911]

Vito presented two different problems that you might run into when using canned tomatoes and is saving you time by demonstration both in the same video. You are not likely to open two cans at the same time, so while blending the two together makes sense, it was not the intention of this video. Vito is awesome and his pizza skills reminds me of the time I spent in Ischia. Bravo Vito!!

[@brozbro]

what should I do if I have too many cans or not enough?

[@duchett743]

The chef was just showing us a simple tip.

[@SeaLProductions40]

vito i have this problem also.. is it ok when i cook the sauce? i wouldnt do it but if you say its ok then ill try it. thanks

[@vitoiacopelli]

SeaLProductions40 no for a pizza Neapolitan style you can't cook the tomatoes since is all ready cooked before going in the can

[@SeaLProductions40]

vito iacopelli thanks for your fast reply. were about to open a pizzeria in berlin with all original ingredients but that was the only problem weve had with the sauce. maybe well see us in your pizzeria in a couple years :) good luck in your business :)

[@danielbrowniel]

Never in my life has tomato sauce been too watery, it doesnt last that long.

[@miguelcastro7586]

I think adding water to the thick one was a brilliant move.

[@wisegirl7514]

😂

[@petercerullo9502]

Thx Vito! Your the best I learned how to make the best pizza because of you!!!

[@jestingapple1287]

Thank you for this video, made neopolitan pizza last night and the sauce must have been too watery as it seeped through the dough when I put it on the pizza..

[@Dirty_Squirrell]

Or you could have added the water from the other can to the too thick can. No waste!

[@charlottejames1506]

Instead of dumping the extra sauce down the drain, why not add it to the thicker sauce? I don't like to waste it. You added water, add the sauce.

[@mikeydrop]

Vito at first i thought why don't you dump the water from first can into 2nd. But then i realise that you meant if you have only 'one' can your methods will fix it

[@thomaslutro5560]

Mix the two together? :D

[@karimtebbakh2432]

HI Vito ..when I used to live in Philadelphia back 90's and worked for an pizza shop ,we use the 7/11 tomatoes sauce for the pizza .Do you have anything can replace it ,because it was an best pizza sauce back then .Thank you Vito

[@deaconrogers3470]

And I thought I had alot of smart asses in my culinary class!! Guys and gals...you came to him for assistance. He didnt call you or the sarcasm either. Please be considerate.

[@O-.-O]

The asshole asks for consideration, what a joke 😂

[@ThatRandomChannelTRC]

Its amazing....that u can just make pizza at home

[@aletrodj]

why not use the liquid tomato juice in the thick tomato?

[@alexblaze9574]

He's assuming that you've only got one can of tomatoes to work with. Yes, obviously, the real solution when you have one can too watery and one can too thick is to combine the two cans together.

[@MrLocosmash]

can you please advice me what to do every time I put mushroom in my pizza it gets really watery. also when I put peppers. what is the solution?

[@macobats]

Cook your mushrooms and dry them off. Then add them onto your pizza:)

[@AnteMicko]

always use brown mushrooms, they are drier and more flavorful than white mushrooms!

[@lilylalicata6398]

Ciao vito ..scusa ma so che lacqua non si mette nel sugo non va bene per la pasta della pizza

[@joevega5477]

Do you cook your tomatoes sauce?

[@Proatcod10]

If it’s too watery put it thought a strainer it works great

[@40russia]

You can also cook it for 15 - 30 minutes to reduce.

[@apelfed]

Simple but effective 👍🏻

[@Ares0025]

great tip my pizza just gets too watery for my taste i will try that but i will keep the juice maybe for a soup or i drink it these san marzano tomatoes are expensive enough dont wanna throw half of it away 😁

[@keijikai8391]

The one i work pizza shop. I complain about the sauce being to watery and they replied its natural, im like shouldn't we remove the access water? They replied to me, it's only 3 cans its normal. But why ?

[@thefrenchgardener1865]

Maestro (teacher) my ass! This guy must teach "special ed" cooks.....really, drain the can! What a revelation! No wonder he is making pizza for aliving!

[@62202ify]

I had this problem with tomatoes I used from a store.

[@joevega5477]

Why dont you save water for the thick tomatoes can

[@markmoore3086]

I can't tell if this video is a joke or not. For watery sauce you drain the water, and for too thick sauce, you add water.

[@SaltyMikan]

The point of the video is that you should not cook your tomatoes to thicken it

[@O-.-O]

@@SaltyMikan And you should not freeze it to make it thin 😂

[@O-.-O]

From the reaction of his zealots I would say he is dead serious

[@blainesjustchillin3509]

Honestly I didn't think it would be that simple. I love it :)

[@faresrock1809]

put the watery into the thicky sauce !! easy

[@paddanboy]

Vito, what do you think about pizza sauces (tomato sauce) that include flavor of onion and garlic (and some sugar if tomato is not sweet) Thanks for the videos / RJ, Sweden

[@staz334]

Robin Jonsson ewww

[@paddanboy]

eww? It taste very good. 1 can tomato sliced 6-12 leaves of basilica 1 onion 1 garlic clove add salt and sugar - after own preferences Olive oil Cut the onion in half and together with the garlic clove cook it with olive oil until it gets some color in a pot. Mix tomato and basilica with a mixer and add it and let it cook for 20-30 min. Remove the garlic clove and onion from the finished tomato sauce. In other words: the tomato sauce only get the flavor from garlic and onion.

[@staz334]

Robin Jonsson when you have good tomatoes you won't need to cook anything, especially with neapolitan pizza. Also, when i eat my pizza i want to taste all the ingredients on it, not the extra garlic and onion you put in the sauce.

[@paddanboy]

Understand you thoughts, I will buy San M. Tomato in can tomorrow and try. Lets see, the oninon and garlic combination is very tasty anyhow.

[@alexblaze9574]

Robin: I add some Adobo brand garlic salt in place of regular salt. Works great.

[@davidbrothers6043]

This guy looks like jack tripper

[@tungstenb6412]

Well there’s a surprise too watery drain off the water too thick add water,well thanks for that never would off thought of doing that ffs

[@BialyEuropejczyk]

Waisting of the tomato juice. Drink it, instead of throwing the juice into the sink hole!

[@mehmetkutuk8217]

Perfetto👍

[@bassamal-youssef267]

Hello Vito, Thanks for all your tips. Today I have noticed that you committed a mistake in business that you've drained off the watery tomato can in the sink, while you could have saved them for another use instead of adding water to the thick tomato can.. is that true ??? Am I right :D :D Thanks again. Bassam

[@semma9727]

Just say you don't run a business and its your only can at home, he is showing in cases like that to add water, whilst I understand and agree with you, yes, to save and add the tomato juice instead of water would be ideal if you were in a situation where you could use it at a later time.

[@earl3496]

Genius!

[@TheseusTitan]

He threw away the juice from the can that was thin and then added water to the thicker sauce. Why didn’t he take the juice from the thin sauce and add it to the can that was too thick? Sorry, I was using common sense.

[@paeden5431]

Common sense suggest that he is presenting a single can problem. Depending on which problem you have he showed both solutions in the same video. It was nice of him to use common sense and teach us both issues in one video; I'm just using common sense.

So if I’m getting this right... If there’s too much water you remove some of the water, and if there’s not enough water you add some? Mind. Blown. 🤯

He's assuming the average viewer only has one can to work with.

[@sjtola]

After dumping the water from the "watery" one, it was thicker thsnn the "thick" one. Also rather than adding water to the "thick" one, all you need to do is blend the tomato chucks and more water would come out naturally.🙄

Not better instead of water to pour the juice from one box to another? My Pizzeria: web.facebook.com/barwinek.olesnica/

[@alexblaze9574]

It's a sad reflection that you have to explain this simple concept. Anyone that really needs to be taught this has not spent any length of time of cooking.

[@macobats]

He lost me after he opened the tops with a spackle knife, lol. You do not drain like he did because he wasn't just draining water. He was draining sauce. If you crush that all in a pot together and slow cook it down the watery part will cook off and you'll get a deeper, thicker tomato sauce.

[@vitoiacopelli]

Priscilla Oneil see you just say make a mistake For a Neapolitan style pizza you don't cook the tomatoes and then you put it on a pizza and then cook it a 3rd time You loose the flavor of the tomato Have a fantastic day

[@macobats]

I disagree Vito. I've been making sauce for 35 years. Plum tomatoes and tomato paste. Slow cook 3 hours for a deep tomato sauce. I then make dishes and reheat and no flavor loss...

[@vitoiacopelli]

Priscilla Oneil I know but for a pizza napoletana you can't cook the tomato sauce 3 times you get a different taste of the real pizza napoletana Here we are making the authentic pizza
