I only use peat pots to start cucumbers and squash which I don't want to disturb the roots at transplant. Put the peat pots in plastic sandwich bags and they won't dry out fast.

You don't have to remove the plant from the peat pot because the roots will grow right through a moist peat pot. If the roots are not growing through the peat pot at transplant you can tear some the peat pot off without disturbing the roots much.
