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.
