Peel tomatoes quickly and easily

The most common way to peel tomatoes is to soak them in hot water for a few seconds. However, there is an even faster way to do this – just pick up a tomato on a fork and place it on a hot burner. Make sure you keep it about 10cm above the fire.

 Protect your hands while cutting hot peppers

Instead of using gloves while cutting hot peppers, you can use a more environmentally friendly option – vegetable oil or olive oil. Before doing this, pour a teaspoon into your hands and rub it evenly. The oil will create a thick barrier so that the pepper does not harm your skin.
