How to peel the skin off tomatoes

Peeling the skin off tomatoes is very simple; all you need is some boiling water and a bowl.

1) Boil the water in a kettle. You will need enough water to cover all of the tomatoes

2) Place the tomatoes into the bowl and pour over the boiling water. If you only want to peel one tomato or you don’t have a big enough bowl, you can use a cup or a pan

3) Leave the tomatoes to soak in the water for about a few minutes or until the skin starts to split

4) Usually the skin of the tomato will split of its own accord, if this happens just peel off the rest. If the skin does not split, use a knife to pierce it, then peel

A very simple and quick way to peel tomatoes.
