Peeling Tomatoes

I found a new and better way to peel tomatoes recently.  I've always used the boiling water method, but it's kind of a pain, because I always burn myself.  I think it also makes the tomatoes really juicy while you're trying to work with them, which I don't like.

Just this week I learned that you can take the backside of a knife and scrape all over the surface of the tomato.  Then when you cut the core of the tomato out the skin basically just falls off the tomato. You might have to give it a little tug or pull with the sharp side of your knife, but it was pretty easy.  It took a little bit of time, but I really liked this method better.

Here are a couple other sites where you can see other methods for peeling tomatoes:
