Charred Capsicum - Handy hint

I'm not sure where I heard about this idea...but it involved holding the capsicum over the cooker flame. Being in a bit of a rush, it just seemed easier to do three at a time with them sitting on the cooker. They need to be really really black to make it easier to peel them. Once really black, put them on a plastic bag to sweat and cool - this loosens the skin.
My learning from this experience though is not to use plastic tongs to turn them.
I plan to use them in a salad to go with Spanish Orange and Rosemary Chicken tomorrow night.
