    Add the tomatoes the water will sometimes quit boiling especially if you use cold tomatoes

  3. 3

    Let the tomatoes sit in the boiling water for 30 seconds. Remove them with a slotted deep spoon. This is so the tomatoes doesn't roll out as you are removing from the water.

    The tomato peeling should be easy to remove. If not gently break the skin and remove easily. Now if that doesn't work put into the boiling water.

  5. 5

    If you are having a hard time grabbing the skin use a spoon and put just under the skin and press down trapping the skin between your thumb and spoon.

    I sure hope this helps!
