How to skin  and de-seed tomatoes

Alex Mackay demonstrates a nifty way to skin tomatoes without having to blanch them first.
Skinning tomatoes need never seem a daunting task again with Alex's quick and easy method... Plus it ensures the tomato doesn't lose any flavor. Cut around the core with a sharp knife and remove it. Quarter the tomato and slice the seeds out of each segment. Lie a segment skin-side down on a board and, pressing it down with your fingers, carefully run the knife between the skin and the flesh, as you would to skin a fish filet.
