Tomatoes are one of my favorite summer vegetables. It is used in the preparation of salads, first and second courses, sauces, casseroles. And if, when preparing salads, we most often do not remove the skin from tomatoes, cutting them into slices into a salad, then when preparing soups, sauces, stewing vegetables, it is better to remove the skin first. Since the unremoved skin can separate during cooking, twist into tight spirals, ruining the dish.

Correcting such a situation as a result will no longer work. So it's best to peel the skin off the tomato before adding it to the dish. Moreover, it is quite simple and fast to do this.
