What is the easiest way to peel tomatos?
Assuming that the purpose of peeling the tomato is for eventual cooking, I have found great success with freezing fresh tomatoes and then defrosting them. As the tomato defrost the skins virtually "fall off"!
I use zip lock bags and remove as much air as possible.

Try boiling the tomatoes in a microwave dipped in normal water.
Then strain them out and drop them in water filled with ice cubes.
The skin generally comes out in two halves.
Hope this helps.
The best way I have found to peel tomatoes is to blanch them quickly. Simply boil a pot of water and pour over tomatoes. Let sit for a few minutes. When you take the tomatoes out, the skin should slide right off. This works for peaches and any other fruit that you need to skin too!
I usually find lots of helpful tips like this on Recipe4Living.com's Encyclopedia of Tips.
I drop the tomatos in very hot water for a few minutes. When removed and cooled under cold water the skin almost comes off itself.
