Chestnut hulling
Chestnut is generally used to stir-fry sugar, cook with boiling water, bake electric cakes and cook porridge, but no matter how you eat it, you can't eat it without peeling it, which is also the biggest worry of friends. I usually cook chestnuts and eat them directly. I cut a hole in the chestnut skin with a knife before cooking. After cooking, this small hole will expand and open with a gentle break, but if it is used to cook porridge, it needs to be peeled and cooked, which is also the most difficult.
Raw chestnuts are the hardest to peel. Chestnut meat will be surrounded by a layer of gray soft skin, which can't be removed, but it doesn't matter. Everything is skillful. Here I'll teach you a peeling method that we all use locally, so that you can learn it after reading it, and you don't have to worry about peeling chestnuts anymore.
working methods
Step 1: First, wash chestnuts with clear water, and clean the dust and impurities on the surface of chestnuts. Each chestnut has a small gray head at one end, so we cut it off with a knife, as shown below. Be careful not to cut your hand when cutting, because chestnuts are slippery and will be cut if you are not careful. )
Step 2: Prepare a pot of water, bring it to a boil, put the cut chestnut into the pot, and take it out when the water boils again. Remember not to cook for too long, or the soft skin inside the chestnuts will stick to the chestnut meat again.
Step 3: Peel chestnuts while they are hot. The shell is easy to peel off after heating, and the soft film on the surface of chestnut meat will not stick together. If there are many chestnuts cooked, you can add some hot water to prevent the chestnuts from getting cold and the soft skin sticking to them.
Well, the chestnuts are peeled, round and smooth, and the pulp is not damaged at all.
