What is the difference between tomato puree and tomato concentrate? is there any?

puree has more water content, tomato paste (or concentrate) is just lacking water, you can reconstitute it in your recipe with water, or broth.

I personally enjoy substituting veal broth for water in meat sauces.

what the fuck has veal broth got to do with tomato puree you dumb cunt?

>we have canned tomatoes, many varieties of it. we just don't have a thing that is called tomato puree.
Which brings me back to my question: Why not just puree them yourself? Buy Mutti Sanz Marzano tomatoes and either put them in a blender or crush them with your hands.

is the tomato concentrate in tubes like toothpaste?

Nigger did you even read my post?

Puree already has the water content, Paste or concentrate does not.

Instead of using water (like puree) you can use a broth, whatever broth you want, or you can also just use water. As I said, I PERSONALLY like to use veal broth in my meat sauces to add depth of flavor.

He doesn't want to know about broth fuckwit. He is asking about tomato puree and tomato concentrate. Learn to fucking read and understand and answer accordingly. Dumbfuck.

Alright, confirmed troll.

Just fucking kill yourself, read the first half and stop reading if my personal preferences on what to use bother you, the FIRST half is STILL the fucking relevant information he's asking about.

I honestly don't give a fuck if he cares or not.

Are you kidding? You're getting butt hurt about a personal suggestion on WHAT liquid to use with tomato paste in a thread ABOUT the differences between tomato paste and puree.

I answered the OPs question, and expanded with relevant information that might be of interest to OP, or anyone potentially lurking.

Seriously, if you can't even interact at a perfunctory level with another person in a normal, non-hostile conversation, just kill yourself now and save society the trouble of cleaning up after your double murder/suicide in a few years.

expanded with relevant information that might be of interest to OP

Did you ask OP if he was a veggie or vegan. No. So not very relevant then, was it?

>Did you ask OP if he was a veggie or vegan. No. So not very relevant then, was it?
I couldn't care less if OP is a veggie, he can use a vegetable broth if that's what gets him off, it's irrelevant though.

The information was provided as MY personal preference, I don't care if you use it or not, it's a simple thing.

Puree means water
Paste (or concentrate) means no water.

You can add your own water, OR use a broth. What broth you use depends what you're doing with it.

Puree doesn't mean water, it means it's been pureed. Concentrate doesn't mean no water, it means it's been concentrated, this is done by heating which caramelizes some of it and converts some of the more volatile and nuanced flavors of fresh tomatoes to be cooked out. And yes, concentrating it does necessarily reduce the water content.

Also, I use vodka instead of water in my sauces. With both fresh tomatoes and concentrate.

nobody gives a flying fuck about YOUR preferences.

By the way, I have tomato puree concentrate in my fridge right now, so you are full of shit. In fact it is tomato puree double concentrate.

Puree does not mean water, it is a smooth cream of liquidized or crushed fruit or vegetables.

It's smooth and creamy because it still has water in it you goober, as opposed to concentrate in which most of the water has been removed.

if it didn't have any water in it, it would be a powder.

Google the meaning of puree little boy and learn something. It has nothing to do with water.

Tomato puree and concentrate are basically the same thing with different names.

Now go tell Mom you want a sammich.

>Puree means water
Retard.

I didn't say all of the water was removed, did I?
I implore you to take your own advice instead. You must be a child if you think puree is the same thing as concentrate.

You retards will fight over literally anything

The tomato puree I buy is double concentrate.

Sorry, but when a tard comes onto a cooking thread and starts spouting bullshit, you have to shout him out.

It's concentrate with water added to make it into a 'puree'. Which is exactly what was suggesting to do in the first place, just with broth instead of water.
You're really not the brightest bulb, are you? You're on a cooking board, arguing that puree is the same thing as concentrate, all because you were too dumb to comprehend what adding broth to concentrate had to do with puree.

water added. So it was a powder? Is that what you are saying? As I said about the broth, he suggested veal broth without asking the OP about being a veggie or vegan.

Google the ingredients for tomato puree and tomato concentrate. They are the same. They are pastes.

No, we won't, fuckwit.

Yes tomato passata is close, just add a small amount of tomato paste to it to thicken it up a bit and you will have what Americans know as tomato purée.
