How to peel a Tomato

As simple as it sounds, things can get real messy if you don't know how to go about doing this. Most of the time, I don't think it is necessary to skin a tomato but there are certain recipes where a skinned tomato is more suitable else the skin might not taste so good. Otherwise, just leave the skin on.

How to peel a Tomato

1. Bring a pot of water to boil and add the tomatoes.

2. Leave them inside for about 1 minute or so. The skin will starts to peel back.

3. Heat off. Remove tomatoes and dunk them into Ice Cold water immediately. It will stop the cooking process and makes them easier to handle.

4. Gently peel back the tomato's skin. Done! =)

It's very simple to skin a tomato. So next time if a recipe calls for peeled tomatoes, you'll know what to do.
