Just a note on hydro-cooling tomatoes, especially in light of recent paranoias regarding food safety. If there is temperature differential of more than 10 degrees between the water and the tomatoes, they will actually suck in water (and anything in it...salmonella, etc.) in through the stem end. Unfortunately, it's much safer to cool them the old-fashioned way ( in a cooler) and then wash them if it's necessary. I learned this in a recent farm food safety seminar.

Does this hold true for other vegetables as well?
