Skillfully Peeling Chestnuts

Ingredients used: fresh chestnuts, salt

The first step: we need to make a hole in the chestnut first, so that it can be cooked later. , water can enter, and thermal expansion and contraction will separate the pulp and peel. Use scissors to cut a long opening on one end of the chestnut. The shell should be completely cut, and the opening should be longer.

Step 2: Put water enough to submerge the chestnuts into the boiling pot, and add about 2 tablespoons of salt. The salt water can soften the peel and vegetables (dehydration), making it easier to operate later.

Step 3: Cook on high heat for 5 minutes. It does not need to be completely cooked, because some vegetables and chestnuts need to be processed and heated twice. If you eat them directly, you can of course cook them for a while longer, about 10 minutes. It will be fully cooked.

Step 4: Take out the cooked chestnuts. Be sure not to use cold water, otherwise the shell will shrink immediately and all the efforts will be wasted. Keep the chestnuts at a certain temperature.
