Cooking with fresh tomatoes automatically makes your dish
better—except for one thing. Pesky tomato skins like to stick in your teeth.
Tomatoes don’t peel like carrots. Here’s the secret to removing the skin
without throwing away half the pulp:
Fill a small pot half full
of water and bring it to a boil. Drop the tomatoes into the boiling water and
cook for 30 seconds. Remove them with a slotted spoon and run them under cold
water. Cut out the stem end of each tomato and pull the skin away. It will peel
right off.
