How to peel chestnuts well

The methods of peeling chestnut include cutting and soaking, hot water soaking, cross knife, tail cutting and chopsticks stirring.

1, incision immersion method

Divide chestnuts into two parts, peel off the shell first, then add boiling water without chestnut pulp, cover and soak for 5 minutes, and the skin can be easily removed. Only this method can't get a complete chestnut. If there is no requirement for appearance, you can try it.

2, hot water immersion method

Wash chestnuts first, then put them in a big bowl, add some salt, add boiled water to chestnuts, cover them and stew for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, take out the chestnuts, cut a small mouth with a knife, and then easily clean the chestnuts with shells and skins. This method can obtain complete pulp.

3. Cross knife method

This is the most commonly used method. Just clean the chestnut, then cut it with a horizontal knife, and pour the cut chestnut into a boiling water pot for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, pour out the chestnuts, and it will be easy to clean the shells and skins together. The only trouble with this method is that it needs a cross knife, and nothing else is wrong.

4. Tail cutting method

Friends who often eat chestnut know that although the shell of chestnut is hard, the tail is soft, and everything is gently cut with a knife. After washing chestnut, cut off the tail with a knife, put it in a large bowl, add boiling water, cover it and soak it for 10 minute.

5, chopsticks mixing method

Cut the cleaned chestnut in half, shell it, put it in a big bowl, pour in boiling water without chestnut, soak it for 3 minutes, then stir it with chopsticks, and the chestnut skin will automatically separate from the pulp. This method is also very simple and convenient. And it won't be hot. Very easy to use.
