【Skillfully Peeling Chestnuts】---Kitchen Tips

Overview

As a cooking woman, I am busy in the kitchen three times a day. The happiest thing is that the food on the dining table is eaten up by the family. I believe every cooking mother knows this feeling. Compared with making a good dish, mastering cooking skills and kitchen tips is more basic homework. It can not only get twice the result with half the effort, but also make the dishes more delicious and more attractive. What I am sharing today is a clever way to peel chestnuts. In fact, I have eaten many chestnuts this year, but I have never recorded this method of peeling chestnuts. One day, I was shopping with a friend and saw boiled chestnuts sold on the roadside. She said she wanted to buy a bag for her children to eat. I didn’t understand why not buy fresh ones and cook them myself. Not only is it healthy, but it’s still hot. How good! When I asked, I found out that I didn’t know how to peel chestnuts. I was told that I boiled them directly in water every time and then bit them open with my teeth. It was always very hard to eat, and the meat of the chestnuts always stuck to the shells, making it impossible to eat them. So I decided to do a detailed decomposition step. This is actually quite simple. I believe many friends know it. I hope it can be a reference for those who don’t.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Get the chestnuts ready.

   

2. 2 Use a small knife to make a horizontal cut on the chestnut shell until the chestnut skin is broken, and then all the cuts are done.

   

3. 3 Rinse with clean water.

   

4. 4 Boil an appropriate amount of water in a pot and add chestnuts. (Be sure to boil the water first)

   

5. 5 Cover and cook for about 3 minutes, then turn off the heat and simmer for 2 minutes before opening the lid.

   

6. 6 The cooked particles will open a slit at the scratched area, and let them dry until the water in the pot is not hot enough. (If you are in a hurry, just add a little cold water until it is not too hot. Don’t add too much)

   

7. 7 Take a chestnut, pick it lightly, and the chestnut will fall out. (Take them out of the pot and peel them one by one. Do not pour out the water, otherwise the chestnut shells will dry out and it will be difficult to peel them.)

   

8. 8 Peeled chestnuts will remain intact.

   

9. 9 The chestnut shells are also intact.

   

10. 10 Such chestnuts are very beautiful whether eaten directly or made into dishes.
