How long does it take to boil tomatoes?

Chef's answer
Gently place the tomatoes into the boiling water. If you have several tomatoes, boil them in batches of 3-4 at a time. Boil the tomatoes until you see the X begin to split open wider, or for 25 seconds, whichever comes first. Do not boil them for longer than 25-30 seconds or they will begin to soften and cook.
