If you do not have a large pan, do not worry because your hot water dispenser makes the process so fast that you can easily repeat it for each tomato in a small pan. Once, you have got the pan, place the tomatoes inside such that each one will be immersed from top to bottom when the pan is filled with boiling water.

The water in the pan should still be too hot to touch and so are the tomatoes.
