Cut the "x" at the bottom of the fruit. Cutting an "x" on the bottom of the fruit will allow the heat from the boiling water to penetrate the tomato and soften the skin, making it easier to peel the tomato. Use a sharp knife to cut the letter "x" at the bottom of each tomato.

Prepare a bowl of ice water. Fill a large bowl with water and ice. You will immediately put the tomatoes in a bowl of ice water after boiling it quickly so that the tomatoes don't overcook. This step helps to prevent the blanches from becoming sticky.

Add tomatoes to boiling water. Blanch for about 30 seconds.

Use a spoon to remove the tomatoes. Be careful not to scoop the boiling water.

Immediately add the tomatoes to the ice. Leave the tomatoes in the water for about 30 seconds.

Peel. Use a sharp knife to slide under the peel of the tomato and pull out the peel. Be careful not to cut into the pulp.

Add tomatoes to boiling water. Simply rinse the tomatoes and put in water without cutting.

When the peels of the tomatoes begin to come off, pick the tomatoes and place them in a basin of cold water. If you can, put ice cubes in the water. If not, use cold water.

Peel when the tomatoes have cooled. If necessary, you can use a knife. advertisement

Warning

• Make sure the knife is sharp. Using a sharp knife is safer than a blunt knife because you only need to use less force to peel the tomatoes. In addition, you are less likely to slip and get cut into your hand by the knife. Even so, you should still be careful when using the knife so that you don't cut your hand.
