| Dip them a second in boiling water, will peel right off. |

The same technique works for peppers and other shiny or tough skinned vegetables. A slotted spoon or tongs, a pan of rapidly boiling water, and an ice cold water bath are all you need. I find it best to submerse them just until the skin splits, 3 to 5 seconds. _________________ eugene from eugene |

It works even quicker if you cut a small cross on the base
of the tomato before covering with boiling water.
Scorch a pepper over a gas flame or blowtorch until the skin
is charred, place in a plastic bag & seal til cool. The skin peels
off easily & the pepper takes on a wonderful smokiness. |

It probably is nutritious. But random bits of curled
up tomato skin in a dish doesn't look very appetising
or professional.
Also the skin on peppers can be difficult to digest,
& doesn't have a pleasant mouth-feel. The reason
why I can't eat stuffed peppers. |

That's what I've always heard.
I'm also too lazy to peel tomatoes or peppers.  |

Solution: Eat the peels yourself after removal. Maybe with some tabasco.  |

| Wonderful tip! Tomatoes are one thing, but peeling peppers is near impossible! |
