Generally speaking, chestnuts bought home are raw, because many dishes need raw chestnuts. Whether it is stewed chicken with chestnuts, beef with chestnuts or ribs with chestnuts, raw chestnuts are needed, but raw chestnuts are also the most difficult to peel!

In the past, chestnuts were directly peeled with a knife at the bulging position of chestnuts, but although they can be peeled, chestnuts are usually easy to peel. The way I said is to cut a cross at the bottom of the chestnut with scissors. The advantage of this is that it is not easy to hurt your hand, and the cutting position is wider to facilitate peeling.

After cutting the chestnuts, boil the water in the pot and add a little salt. If chestnuts need to be processed again, it is recommended to cook for 3 minutes. When the chestnuts are ripe, eat them directly and stew for another 5 minutes. To peel ripe chestnuts while they are hot, just gently buckle the whole chestnut meat and you can peel them! Of course, if you feel troublesome, you can use a special chestnut peeler, which is faster. For friends who don't have enough time, it is recommended to use chestnut peeler, which is easy to operate and peels faster.

Coup 2: microwave heating method

If you have a microwave oven at home and are still peeling raw chestnuts, it is faster to use microwave oven than to boil water!

To tell the truth, many friends have weakened the function of microwave ovens a lot! Take peeling chestnuts for example, it is really convenient to use! First, you have to open your mouth for chestnuts. I can't help it. This is the foundation, and then put the chestnuts in the microwave for one minute. Peel it while it's hot. It's simple!

Secondly, the hairy seed coat on chestnut is difficult to remove and can be removed by microwave oven. Turn the peeled chestnuts in the microwave oven and rub them while they are hot, so that the seed coat in the shell can be easily rubbed off. Isn't it simple? In fact, you can use the sheller, which is more convenient and time-saving!
