Why do heated tomatoes stay hot for so long?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, the water in a soup broth, for example, is moving around a lot, and when it passes close to the air or touches the bowl, it loses heat. but the water in the tomato is mostly trapped - it doesn't swirl around with the rest of the broth when you scoop up a spoonful. So the water in the tomato doesn't come close to the air or the bowl as much and doesn't cool down as quickly.

Why are tomatoes considered vegetables?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

HEDDEN" tomatoes were to be considered vegetables.If you find this hard to believe here is a link to take you to the court ruling..http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/cgi-bin/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=149&invol=304
