1, hot water immersion method. First, wash the raw chestnuts and put them in a side vessel for later use, then pour a proper amount of water into the pot until the water boils. After the water is boiled, turn off the fire, put the spare chestnuts into hot water, add a little salt at the same time, cover the pot and let the chestnuts soak for 5 minutes.
Time is up, take out the chestnuts, cut a hole with scissors, and easily peel off the whole chestnuts. After soaking in boiling water, a small amount of chestnuts will be separated by heat and become two halves, but they will remain intact and clean after peeling.
2. Microwave heating method. Rinse the chestnuts, first cut a cross on the shell with scissors. The incision should not be too small, it should reach the left and right ends, otherwise it will not crack well. Then put the chestnuts in the microwave oven and heat them at high temperature for 1 min, then take them out. When the chestnuts are a little cooler, gently open them with your hands, and the chestnuts will be peeled off, which is very quick and simple. The only thing to pay attention to is to prevent being scalded by chestnuts that have just been taken out.
3. Peeling and soaking method. Different from the first method, this method first cuts the chestnut shell with scissors, and then peels it off. Boil water in the pot or the water temperature is 70 degrees, then put the peeled chestnuts in, soak for 5 minutes, take them out and drain. At this time, you can easily peel off its coat. It will be a little troublesome when peeling the shell, but it will be easy after soaking in water.
