Chestnut is cooked in a common pot. It takes 40 minutes. When the water is boiled, it can be boiled over low heat. When it is cooked, you can cover the lid and keep it stuffy for a few minutes, so that it tastes better.
Chestnuts are cooked in a pressure cooker. The pressure cooker takes a short time, about 15 minutes, but it should be noted that the pressure cooker should not put too many chestnuts.
What should I pay attention to when steaming chestnuts in a pressure cooker?
1, chestnut to open.
When the chestnuts are steamed in the pressure cooker, the chestnuts will be steamed due to the pressure generated by the hot air generated in the heating process of the pressure cooker, so it is necessary to cut the chestnuts into cross knives in advance and exhaust the gas inside, so that the chestnuts will not explode due to the pressure during the steaming process.
So remember to cut the chestnut into a cross first, or just split a hole with a knife.
2, small and medium fire
When the pressure cooker is put on the stove for work, you can't turn on a big fire, because there is too much firepower in a big fire, which will make the chestnut difficult to cook and easy to cook stiff. Therefore, it must be steamed slowly with medium and small fire, so that the chestnuts can be steamed fragrant, waxy and delicious. Therefore, it is also a key to adjust the firepower to medium and small fire.
3. Add some ingredients
If chestnut is steamed only, its taste is light, and the taste is not so good. Therefore, you can prepare a proper amount of oil and rock sugar, and add them to the chestnut, so that the steamed chestnut is sweet, fragrant and waxy. Moreover, the surface of chestnut is covered with sugar and oil, which tastes particularly delicious.
