Cut the chestnuts into two halves with a knife, shell them, put them in a pot, pour boiling water, soak them for a while, and then stir them with chopsticks. However, it should be noted that the soaking time should not be too long to avoid losing the nutrients of chestnut.
Six methods for peeling chestnuts:
1, hot water soaking method: after washing raw chestnuts, put them in a vessel, add a little refined salt, soak them in boiling water, and cover the pot. After 5 minutes, the chestnuts are taken out and cut, and the chestnuts are peeled off together with the chestnuts shells. This method saves time and effort.
2. Chopsticks mixing method: Peel all two petals of chestnuts, put them in a pot, soak them in boiling water for a while, and stir them with chopsticks, so that the chestnut skin will be separated from the chestnut meat. The soaking time should not be too long, otherwise it will affect the nutritional composition of chestnuts.
3. Refrigerator freezing method: After the chestnuts are cooked, put them in the refrigerator for two hours to separate the shell and meat. In this way, the chestnut skin can be peeled off quickly and the chestnut meat is complete.
4. Microwave heating method: Cut the shell of the bought raw chestnuts with scissors and put them in a microwave oven for 30 seconds at high temperature, and the clothes and meat in the inner layer will be separated automatically. Before removing the chestnut coat in this way, the shell must be cut open, otherwise the microwave oven may break down.
5. Expansion with heat and contraction with cold: peel off chestnuts with a knife, cook in boiling water for 3-5 minutes, and immediately soak in cold water for 3-5 minutes. Chestnuts are easy to peel and taste the same.
6, exposure method: put the raw chestnuts to be eaten in the sun for a day, the chestnut shell will crack. At this time, whether eaten raw or cooked, it is easy to peel off the chestnut shell and the thin layer inside. But chestnuts to be stored can't be dried, because dried chestnuts can't be stored for a long time.
