Chestnut peeling method
1. Hot water soaking method: Wash the raw chestnuts and put them in a basin, add a little salt, immerse them in boiling water, and cover Pot lid. After 5 minutes, take out the chestnuts and cut them open. The chestnut skin will fall off together with the chestnut shell. This method saves time and effort in removing chestnut skin. 2. Refrigerator freezing method: After the chestnuts are cooked, cool them and put them in the refrigerator for two hours to separate the shell and meat. In this way, the chestnut skin is peeled off quickly and the chestnut meat is intact.
3. Microwave heating method: Use scissors to cut the outer shell of the purchased raw chestnuts, and heat them in the microwave at high temperature for 30 seconds. The inner layer of clothing and meat will automatically separate. Before using this method to remove chestnut coating, be sure to cut the outer shell, otherwise it may cause the microwave oven to malfunction. 4. Thermal expansion and contraction method: Use a knife to peel off the chestnut shell, put it into boiling water and cook it for 3-5 minutes. After taking it out, immediately put it into cold water and soak it for 3-5 minutes. It is easy to peel off the chestnut coat, and the taste is not good. Change. ("Daoying" friend said that he had tried this method but it didn't work) 5. Sun exposure method: If the raw chestnuts you want to eat are exposed to the sun for a day, the chestnut shells will crack. 6. Cook chestnuts in a pressure cooker: Wash the chestnuts with clean water, then put them into the pressure cooker while wet. Remember, do not add additional water, just like this. Then turn on the heat and use low heat (turn the heat down throughout the circle). This will allow the bottom of the pot to heat evenly. Put the pressure cooker on and heat it for a while, about three minutes. Pick up the pot and shake it. This is also to heat the chestnuts inside evenly. When the pressure cooker starts to gas up, you need to lift the pot up and shake it frequently, because it is already very hot at this time. In about ten minutes, you will hear the sound of chestnuts popping in the pot. In this way, shake it while heating it. After about fifteen minutes, you can turn off the heat. Simmer for another five minutes, then open the pot and let it cool down.
