      @BB3 I think it depends if you want to remove the seeds or not.

      When we cook tomatoes we sometimes take the skins off, depending who is going to eat them as our children can be fussy. We slice and cook, don't whizz up as they breakdown in stews and curries anyway.

        I must be fussy as I take off the skins and most of the seeds.

          Not being fussy: I eat raw or cook skins seeds and all. No clatting round peeling, whizzing or sieving.
          If making soup for a guest I might fish the skins out of their portion.

            I don't peel or de-seed either. When making soup I use a stick blender and it ends up perfectly smooth.

                  I'm the same as you @NigelJ - they get eaten with everything still there, whether raw or cooked, and the only time I ever remove some seed is when I make bruschetta, because it can make the bread a bit soggy if it's all left in.
                  I often add excess toms to sauces, but they just get cut up a little, and chucked in.
