This shows that everyone is troubled by the problem of how to peel chestnuts. Today I will share with you some common methods of peeling chestnuts.

1. Mom’s method

1. After washing the chestnuts, use a knife to cut a cross-shaped opening in the middle

2. Place them in salt water. Cook on the stove for 5 minutes

3. Pick up the chestnuts while they are still hot and pour them into ice water. After they expand with heat and shrink with cold, the chestnuts will become easier to peel.

This is a common method of cooking chestnuts at home. The chestnuts are very noodles when cooked. But it is easy to peel off, and the hairy inner skin is a bit difficult to peel off.

2. Pop chestnuts in rice cooker

1. After cleaning the chestnuts, cut a hole.

2. Place it in the rice cooker without adding water.

3. Press the cooking button, wait until it switches to keep warm, then take it out and peel it.

This one is also cooked. Compared to the method of boiling chestnuts with water, the chestnuts are drier and still easier to peel, but they are also easier to peel.

Three: Microwave roasting

1. Wash the chestnuts and cut into small openings. If you like sweet taste, sprinkle some honey water; if you like salty taste, sprinkle with salt water.

2. Put it in a bowl or plate, put it in the microwave, and roast it on high heat for more than 3 minutes. Sometimes you can hear the sound of chestnuts popping.

3. Peel while hot.

Personally, I think the chestnuts roasted this way are closer to those roasted on the street, and they are dry and fragrant. Chestnut color is also better.

Another tip, if the chestnuts are fried or roasted directly, it doesn’t matter if you don’t open your mouth. When eating, pinch the raised side of the chestnut with your fingernails. Because the pulp will shrink when it is dried, there will usually be a little space on this side. After you pinch the opening, you can peel it off easily.

Boil water in a pot, remove the chestnuts, then add a little salt and simmer in the boiling water for about 10 minutes. When the time is up, remove the chestnuts and drain the water. It will be easy to break open the shell along the slits. After cooking, the edges of the shell will soften and the water will let in so that they can peel off easier.

2. Beating method

Place the prepared dried chestnuts in a relatively thick plastic bag, tap gently on the ground, and beat in different directions for about 6 minutes. Then take out the chestnut, and the shell of the chestnut will be separated from the pulp, so you can easily peel out the complete chestnut.

3. Stir-frying method

Put pebbles about 2-3mm in diameter into the pot, heat the pebbles, then add a little sugar and stir-fry the sugar. Finally, add the chestnuts and fry together until the chestnuts are browned and cracked, so that the sugar on the surface of the pebbles penetrates into the chestnuts. The shells of the chestnuts are crispy at high temperatures, making them easier to peel off. Chestnuts also taste sweeter.

4. Exposure method

Put the chestnuts you want to eat in the sun for a day. The chestnut shells will slowly crack with the high temperature, whether they are peeled raw or cooked. It is easy to peel off the chestnut shell and the inner film. Chestnuts prepared for storage cannot be exposed to the sun. Sun-dried chestnuts cannot be stored for a long time and need to be placed in a cool and dry place.

5. Roasting method

Cut a knife on the top of the chestnut, lay it flat and heat it in the microwave for 3 to 5 minutes or bake it next to the stove. The missing shell creates a small gap with the flesh, making peeling easy.

Peeling chestnuts is not difficult at all. Chestnuts on the market are difficult to peel because they are sold refrigerated and kept fresh. Our Luotian County is the county with the largest chestnut production in the country. There are nearly a thousand chestnut canning factories in the territory. These raw materials are shelled manually. If it is difficult to peel, how can we meet the production requirements? Therefore, it is very easy to peel fresh chestnuts. You only need to boil them in boiling water for a minute or two, and then you can quickly remove the inner and outer shells. However, if it is an old chestnut that has been refrigerated, it is relatively difficult. The only way is to peel it off. outer shell, and then use a razor blade to peel off the inner shell.
