With your knife parallel to the table and with your hand on top of the plate you can now cut the Cherry Tomatoes. (I had to move my hand to make the photo work but trust me you want gentle pressure on top of the plate.) Do not forget to let the knife do the work. Saw back and forth to allow the blade to cut, do not push the knife through the Cherry Tomatoes.
