I like your style....

hmm, I just took off a pan of tomatoes that I cooked down and cooled. Tomorrow I will have to do the best I can to get as many seeds as possible out of it before I use the immersion blender on it to make the sauce less chunky. I would try the grater, but I would remove as many seeds as possible first, then cook it down.

Thanks for the tip!

I like tomato skins, but it looks like a quick way to make fresh sauce/salsa without a food processor or something. I could always use the skins for something else. Maybe tomato vinegar!

Thanks for sharing, I tried this last night and used it to make a dressing for a salad. Worked and tasted great!

I always half then squeeze out juice/seeds over a fine mesh strainer. Gets 100% of seeds and then I can add back juice if needed plus save all my seeds in one process.

I tried the cheese grater method. It works pretty well.

Not gonna happen at my house I have a food processor and I don't mind skins.
Not that it isn't a bad idea.
To me sauce and salsa mean the same thing.

I don't mind skins either and figure they are good for me. On the other hand, my chickens love them. So, either way, I eat them

Good idea. Save seeds, save the juices, grate for a quick sauce. Put the skins into the
dehydrator for powder.
I could see doing that once in the fall. Or freeze the skins until enough are collected
for the dehydrator. Skins have a lot of flavor, especially for powder.

I don't usually bother skinning/seeding for most things but dehydrating i need to get some of the
moisture out so i save the juices.
