Thanks you!!
I leave mine on the counter and cover with a napkin. Eat it the next day.
I do the same thing
The best way that I have found – when you have it sliced so that it is a flat surface – only one side exposed – place your tomato cut side down on a plate – not a paper plate either, using a SMOOTH finish plate – it actually creates a seal – store it in a cool place – not the fridge for 2 or 3 days – the warmer the area – the shorter the “lifespan”.
You should never put a tomato in the fridge. Kills the flavor (volatiles)
The best way to store your remaining tomato halves is cut-side down on a paper towel. Stick paper towel in the bottom of a storage container, place open face of tomato on paper towel, stick closed container in fridge. If you use it within two days, it will taste good as new. If you can’t use it over the next couple days, stick it in the freezer until you need it.

I eat all at one time no leftovers.
You guys actually used 3 pages to say this? Geesh, just put it in the plastic baggie already. It lasts the same amount of time at my house. Well, less than 8 hours….:p
Put it in the freezer? Only if you want to ruin it.
Gotta google it because you have to go through too many pages.

This is an article that drags itself out to three pages of repitition to get to the gist of the point. Let me save you the time with a Click Bait Spoiler: “The best way to store your remaining tomato halves is cut-side down on a paper towel.

Just put it cut side down on a small plate or saucer……works just fine!!
SLICED side down on a plate or saucer AND IN THE FRIDGE …Or out if cool
I just read the comments and get a, somewhat idea!
Thanks, good to know!
Left over tomato? Not in my house. Any portion left gets sliced and eaten. Sometimes immediately!!
Not wasting my time. If I have to click more than once, I’m not going any further, don’t like teasers and I don’t like the crap that comes with it.
Who has leftover tomatoes?
Stupid advert what a waste of time
I would not store half a tomato I would eat it
I just saran wrap mine, last just fine till next day!
