To peel tomatoes to use in stews and sauces, or if you just prefer them skin-free like I do, this is an easy way to get the job done quickly. Remove the stem, score the bottom with a big X, then dunk in boiling water for 10 to 15 seconds. Transfer to an ice bath to cool. Right when they're cool, remove from water and the skin will slide right off. This works on both fresh and frozen tomatoes.

And the old shall be made new.
I was doing this when you were just a twinkle in your father's eye. It is a must when canning tomatoes.Thanks for letting everyone know.
You are also just a know-it-all but don't let it on ;)
I didn't know anyone froze whole tomatoes. Aren't they mushy?
Not if you use them in sauce. You cannot use as fresh.
