Chinese chestnut
Easy and complete chestnut peeling skills
Hard objects beat the hair
Put the sold chestnuts in a thick plastic bag, knock gently on the ground for about 5 minutes, and take out the chestnuts. The skin of chestnuts will be separated from the chestnut meat, and the whole chestnuts can be easily peeled off.
Hot water immersion method
Wash the raw chestnuts, put them into a vessel, add a little refined salt, immerse them in boiling water, and cover the pot. After 5 minutes, the chestnuts are taken out and cut, and the chestnuts peel off with the chestnuts shell. This method is time-saving and labor-saving.
Chopsticks stirring method
Shell all the chestnuts, put them into a pot, soak them in boiling water for a while, and stir them with chopsticks, so that the skin of chestnuts will be separated from the chestnut meat. The soaking time should not be too long, otherwise it will affect the nutritional components of chestnuts.
Refrigerator freezing method
After the chestnuts are cooked, they are cooled and frozen in the refrigerator for two hours, so that the shell and meat can be separated. In this way, the chestnut coat can be peeled off quickly and the chestnut meat is complete.
Microwave heating method
Cut off the shell of the bought raw chestnuts with scissors and heat them in a microwave oven at high temperature for 30 seconds, and the inner layer of clothes and meat will automatically separate. Before using this method to remove chestnut clothes, the shell must be cut open, otherwise the microwave oven may malfunction.
Thermal expansion and cold contraction method
Peel the chestnut shell with a knife, boil it in boiling water for 3-5 minutes, and soak it in cold water for 3-5 minutes immediately after taking it out. It is easy to peel off the chestnut coat and the taste remains unchanged.
Sunlight exposure
When the raw chestnuts to be eaten are exposed to the sun for a day, the chestnuts will crack. At this time, it is easy to peel off the chestnuts' shell and the thin skin inside, whether raw or cooked. But the chestnuts to be stored can't be dried, because the dried chestnuts can't be stored for a long time.
