to skin or not?

[battybird]

Having just skinned several pounds of tomatoes ready to roast with basil and garlic to make puree...I wonder is there an easier way to skin tomatoes? I put them in boiling water for a little while, the large toms deskin easily but cherry toms were a bit of a pain and I now have orange fingernails! Or do other ishers just not bother

i dont bother - just blend em up

Roast them until squidgy and the skins pull right off :)

if you dont like the skin you can sieve the sauce after i find this far quicker than skining them

Hi Mate, long time no see.... or hear..
Im busy roasting tons for puree, and I never bother, just give it a bit of a wizz with the hand blender...

Hi Pat, already done loads and have decided the orange fingers are not worth it! Need a better whizzer tho...the one I have got finds it all a bit traumatic! Coming over in 2wks so look forward to seeing your efforts! ;-)
