Many people will see that in the streets of autumn, the cauldron of fried chestnuts has risen, chestnuts are constantly tumbling in the cauldron, and some black sand will be added to the cauldron of fried chestnuts, which makes many people who don't know very confused.

Why do you want to add sand to fried chestnuts?

Because the cauldron for roasting chestnuts is made of iron, the thermal volume ratio of iron is relatively low, that is to say, the energy released and absorbed by the pot per unit time is relatively large, while the heat capacity of chestnut shells is relatively large and the thermal conductivity is small, so when roasting chestnuts in an iron pan, the chestnut shells are easy to explode, but the chestnuts are still raw.

The specific heat capacity of sand between the pot and chestnuts, if you can move into the pot to fry chestnuts, you can slow down the temperature of chestnuts, so that the inside of chestnuts can be heated evenly, and the chestnuts can be better finished without causing the chestnuts to explode, but the chestnuts are still raw.

Are chestnuts fried with sugar for seasoning?

There will be some hair on the chestnut shell. Maltose is added in the process of sugar frying chestnuts. Maltose can stick to the sand, the sand will be fully mixed with chestnuts, and the hair on the chestnut shell can be glued off, making the chestnut shell look shiny and beautiful.

At the same time, add malt sugar to fry chestnuts. In the process of stirring, maltose will burn violently after being heated, giving off the smell of maltose burning violently, which will make sugar-fried chestnuts taste very fragrant and smell particularly fragrant. You can lick the skirt to attract more people to buy it.

Chestnuts fried with sugar taste very sweet. Many people especially like to eat sugar-fried chestnuts. There are many merchants selling sugar-fried chestnuts on the street, but it is not very convenient to buy sugar-fried chestnuts in some places. At this time, if you want to eat sugar-fried chestnuts, you can cook them at home.

How to make the home version of sugar-fried chestnuts?

Select some small and even chestnuts, and then wash them with water. In order to ensure that chestnuts don't harden after frying, you can cut a hole in the chestnut mouth and soak it in water for 15 minutes. Put a hot wok on the fire, and then put the sea salt and chestnuts into the wok together. Many people see that the sand used to stir-fry chestnuts with sugar sold on the street is used for cooking, but it is inconvenient to use sand at home, because the sand used is not clean enough, and it is easy to pollute the environment and affect respiratory health, so sea salt is used to stir-fry chestnuts.

After chestnuts and sea salt are put into the pot, turn off the heat and stir slowly so that the particles are heated as evenly as possible. With the increase of temperature, the opening of particles will become larger and the color of salt will become darker and darker. At this time, it is necessary to speed up the frying to avoid uneven heating of chestnuts.

Add sugar and honey slowly and evenly. Turn chestnuts quickly after adding to prevent sugar from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

Stir-fry chestnuts and sugar quickly until the salt is no longer sticky, turn off the fire, cover the pot and stew for 10 minutes. This can ensure that chestnuts absorb caramel and make them mature again until chestnuts absorb caramel flavor, which is completely mature and delicious.
