how to peel a pepper

Just a quick note that you should not put hot peppers in plastic bags - the chemicals from the plastic will leach into the pepper.

If you were peeling raw peppers , a serrated peeler would be the perfect tool. I have one from Oxo that makes quick work of tomatoes and peaches as well.

Ever since my husband fell in love with Marcella Hazan we have peeled our peppers. So it is a little time consuming. A peeled pepper is a completely different product from a roasted pepper. I have learned that it is not imperative that every little smidge of skin be removed.

Marcella Hazan always instructed to use a swivel peeler to peel both tomatoes and peppers. It works great for me.

Q = "why" peel a pepper (not how) ... The skin does not digest and blocks the flavor of the pepper. Most people don't peel peppers, or tomatoes, because they don't know why and are lazy.
Note that all "fine dining" restaurants serve peeled peppers and tomatoes - because they want the best flavors to come through - and charge you appropriately for doing that.
At home, it is part of the fun of cooking !

While an Oxo swivel peeler works great, I agree with the suggestion to char the pepper on flame. It only enhances the flavor.

I heat the pepper over an open flame until the skin chars then place in a bag to steam. Skin will come right off.
