Skinning the tomatoes
Sunday, November 5th, 2006
My flickr contact Sarah posted a photo and simple explanation on skinning tomatoes: “Stab the skins and then pour boiling water over them, empty it and fill the bowl with cold water. The skins then fall off the tomatoes with no effort at all, hurrah!”
“Second tip - don’t do too many at a time, as the tomatoes need to be hit by the boiling water to get the full “oh my God, my skin’s fallen off” effect. I discovered this afternoon that the right number is evidently about 8. Two at the bottom of the bowl had to be done again with their own freshly boiled water!”
