  • Pour boiling hot water on the tomato to cover it completely. Depending on the type of tomato, you need about 30 seconds to two minutes for the skin to soften fully.
  • Take out the tomato from the bowl using a spoon. Run cold water over it to make it easier to handle and peel.
  • Peel off the skin gently with the knife.
