The steps to how to peel & seed a tomato

It may seems like a lot of steps but it is actually pretty quick from start to finish. First you put a pot of water to boil, make a light cross with a pairing knife at the bottom of the tomato.

Place in the boiling water for 2/3 minutes or until you see the skin lifting a little by itself. Have a bowl with ice ready. If you want to make this step fast, place the tomatoes in a colander and run the cold water. We just want to peel the tomato not cook it.
