How do you peel and seed tomatoes?

[Edit]

You first peel the tomato by cutting a small cross at the top, pouring boiling water over it, and leting it sit for a while - perhaps 1 minute. Test as you go - you can always put it back in the water. After a minute, get hold of one of the corners of the cross and try to pull off the skin. When this is done, you can cut the top off the tomato, or halve it. It depends on how picky you want to be about removing all seeds or just most of them. To do the latter, simply squeeze the tomato as you would a lemon. More precise work can be done by scooping out the seeds with a small spoon.
