To use, simply open the can and add it directly to your cooking. It can be simmered to develop its flavors further or used as a quick flavor enhancer. For sauces, allow it to bubble gently to thicken and meld with other ingredients. It can also be incorporated into baked dishes, providing moisture and a rich tomato essence. The pre-seasoned nature means you can often adjust other seasonings to taste, but it provides a solid foundation for many recipes.
