Peeling tomatoes is a chore, but these hacks make it effortless. **Blanching Method**:
1. Score a shallow “X” on the tomato’s bottom.
2. Boil water in a large pot and prepare an ice bath.
3. Submerge tomatoes in boiling water for **30-60 seconds** (depending on ripeness).
4. Transfer to ice water using a slotted spoon.
5. Peel skin starting from the “X” – it should slide off easily.
**Freezer Hack**:
1. Freeze whole tomatoes overnight.
2. Thaw at room temperature for 1 hour.
3. The skin wrinkles and peels off with minimal effort.
**Pro Tips**:
- **Bulk Processing**: Blanch and peel a batch, then freeze for future sauces.
- **Skin Uses**: Dehydrate peels at 170°F (77°C) for 2 hours, then grind into a savory seasoning powder.
**Science Behind It**: Blanching loosens the skin by breaking down the pectin layer between skin and flesh, while freezing causes cell rupture for easy peeling.
