Chestnuts can be cooked in a pressure cooker.

Just don’t cook it for too long. Chestnuts are rich in starch and have a wooden shell on the outside. Moreover, a single chestnut is not big, so it is actually relatively easy to cook. If you use a pressure cooker to cook chestnuts, generally speaking, it will take about six to ten minutes after the steam is put on. You can turn off the heat.

It is not advisable to stew chestnuts in a pressure cooker over high heat for too long after the pot is opened, otherwise it will easily block the pressure relief hole and cause danger. It is best to use low heat.

When releasing the water, it must not exceed the 4/5 position of the pressure cooker, and check whether the exhaust pipe hole is clear to avoid accidents. When cooking chestnuts in a pressure cooker, do not fill it too full. When using a pressure cooker to cook chestnuts, the capacity of water and chestnuts should not exceed four-fifths of the capacity of the pressure cooker. Otherwise, the vent will be easily blocked during the cooking process, which is more dangerous. When cooking chestnuts, you can use a knife to cut them into cross-sections. This will make it easier to peel off the inner layer of skin after cooking.
