I wash and dry tomatoes, remove core and then I line tomatoes up on a cookie sheet and par freeze for around 1/2 hr or until the outside of the tomato is really cold or just frozen. Then when you dip them in the hot water bath the skins easily split and slide off. The tomatoes dont breat down as much and you don't have to put them in a cold bath that makes them soggy. They easily cut up or used firm and intact.
