Skillfully Peeling Chestnut Shells

Overview

As the saying goes: It’s hard to grow delicious cherries, but it’s hard to peel delicious chestnuts! Speaking of chestnuts, I believe that many people, like me, like to eat them very much, because whether they are used for cooking or directly stir-fried with sugar, they are delicious, soft and sweet, which makes people unable to stop eating them. However, peeling chestnuts is indeed a very troublesome problem, because it not only has a hard outer shell, but also a thin inner layer stuck to the chestnut meat, which is very difficult to peel, especially raw chestnuts. But recently I discovered the secret to peeling chestnuts. It turns out that peeling is so easy, you don’t need to pick it with your hands at all. This method peels it quickly, cleanly and completely without hurting your hands. You can peel a pound in a few minutes, which is very easy and convenient. We have done it wrong before, we are really stupid~~~
