Not here to brag, but my mom could peel tomatoes. Not the sharpest tool in the shed, but she had some mad skills.

Nevertheless I bet peeling tomatoes requires sharp tools!

Here's the crazy part! All of her knives were dull, best she could do was use the crappy sharpener on the electric can opener!

I see, you weren't actually insulting her!

I think the trick is parboiling them, and dunking in an ice bath. The skin just falls off afterwards.

Thank you for taking the time.
