Peel tomatoes in 30 seconds
A cross, boiling water and iced water — the skin slips off.
1
Score a shallow cross in the top of the tomato.
2
Drop it into boiling water for 20–30 seconds — until the edges of the cut start to curl back.
3
Move it straight into a bowl of iced water for a minute.
4
Pull at the corners of the cross — the skin comes away in one piece. Peaches and apricots peel the same way.
