Hi Bart,
We use cookie sheets wrapped in plastic wrap and place overlapping paper towels over the plastic wrap. I'm constantly shifting the tomatoes around depending on how ripe and to consolidate the trays. The paper towels need to be replaced after a few batches. The plastic wrap needs replacing about half way through the season. Obviously these aren't stackable.

Thanks Jim.

I line mine with newspaper (which, sadly, I have to replace often). I don't live at or near my garden so stackable trays are a must. Last weekend I carted home 16 flats! (each flat was approx 14 pounds)

224 lbs of tomatoes in 1 weekend! How many plants do you have?

I don't get a whole lot to keep, after using ourselves and giving to relatives. But whenever I do, I keep them in wicker basket that provides some aeration. That is how i keep just about any fruit. I have got different sizes of them.

Wicker can poke holes in tomatoes. Wire is better, or best (if you have the room) is stems down on a wire cake-cooling rack, single layer.

I pick at first blush, and try to put greener ones on the bottom so I pick into buckets and bins, sort them out and try to lay in a single layer to ripen when I get back to the house. The riper ones from the top of the bucket go into the market bins after I cull through what's left over from the last market (I cull every other day, sometimes 2 days in a row).

End of season greenies get laid in newspaper in a single layer in boxes I get from grocery stores or BJs. But it's just too hard to pick into those. And end of season are so hard I don't worry at all about picking into 5 gal buckets - I'm just trying to harvest them before frost!
