1: hot water soaking method: clean raw chestnuts, put them in a pot, 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 when removing chestnut skin.
2. Chopsticks stirring method: all the chestnuts are shelled and put into the basin. After soaking in boiling water for a while, stir with chopsticks, and 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, they are cooled and put 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. Swelling with heat and shrinking with cold: peel off chestnut shells with a knife, put them in boiling water for 3-5 minutes, and soak them in cold water for 3-5 minutes immediately after taking them out. Chestnut skin is easy to peel off, and the taste remains unchanged.
Sun exposure method: expose the raw chestnuts to the sun for a day, and the chestnuts will crack.
6. Cooking chestnuts in pressure cooker: Wash chestnuts with clear water, and then put them into the pressure cooker. Remember, no water, that's all. Then turn on a big fire and turn it down with a small fire (turn down the whole fire) so that the bottom of the pot is heated evenly. Put the pressure cooker on and heat it for a while, about three minutes, and shake it up to make the chestnuts heated evenly. Because it's already very hot at this time, you will hear the chestnuts popping in the pot in about ten minutes, so you can turn off the fire after heating for about fifteen minutes, then stew for five minutes and let the pot cool.
