Reena’s Italian Tip of the Week:

If you find that homemade pizzas are runny when you add tomato slices before baking, cut the tomatoes in half and squeeze the juices and seeds out over the sink. If you want to avoid the wrinkling that results, use a finger instead and just scoop them out. Slice the tomatoes and dress the pizza as usual.

All solutions are to be used at the risk of the user.
