Peeling the skin of tomatoes shouldn’t be that difficult, only if you use the following steps:
- Prepare the following utensils:
- three bowls or basins
- a small sharp knife
- hot water
- cold water
- ice cubes
- large slotted spoon
Cut a T shape on the top of the tomatoes, with the lines about half an inch long. Pierce the skin deep enough. Place these tomatoes in one of the bowls. Pour hot water to cover tomatoes.
Fill the other bowl or basin with cold water and ice cubes. Wait for 30 seconds before removing the tomatoes from the hot water with a slotted spoon. Transfer them with straight into the basin of iced water. Leave them for another 30 seconds.
After 30 seconds, remove them from the bowl and set them in the third bowl a couple of minutes. You’ll see that the skin has become loose. Simply peel off the skin by hand.
