Re: Chestnuts

Boil them for 10-15 minutes, skin will come off easily and then enjoy them with spoon (scoop it out). ;)

Re: Chestnuts

**put them in a pot, cover the pot with a lid and then heat the pot for about 5 minutes...when you hear the first pop, take it off the stove and let it stand for 5 minutes.

hold the nut between your thumb N index+middle fingers and squeeze...peel it...peels off very easily...ENJOY!**

Re: Chestnuts

mmmm…I love chestnuts…
here’s an easy way to prepare them for easy peeling:

When ready to cook, using a small sharp ka-niffy {or knife as it is commonly known}
and score and “X” on the flat or flattest side of the Chestnut.

I tend to roast mine on a bit lower temperature than is sometimes stated.
around *300, for a steady 20 minutes.

You don’t want to under~cook or over~cook. When the corners of your cuts are peeled back and the Chestnut has a golden color, they should be done. As soon as I take the Chestnuts out of the oven, I put them in a bowl and cover with a very damp dish towel.
This is when I prepare our drinks; that lets the Chestnuts cool down enough to peel without burning your fingers, but not so cool that its hard to peel them.
