The fastest way to peel raw chestnuts

Boiling water soaking method

1. Soak the raw chestnuts in boiling water to remove the chestnut skin as soon as possible. Before peeling, you need to wash the raw chestnuts with clean water, then heat water in a pot and boil it, and put the good raw chestnuts into the pot.

2. Cover the pot and soak for five minutes. Then open the lid, take out the chestnuts, cut a hole in the chestnut shell with scissors, and gently pinch it with your fingers to crack the shell and easily take out the chestnut meat.

Microwave Peeling

1. If you want to easily remove the shell of raw chestnuts, you can use the microwave at home and put the chestnuts into the microwave. Before that, you should use scissors to cut two small holes on the chestnut skin.

2. Put the cut raw chestnuts into an inverted plate and heat them directly in the microwave, select high heat for three minutes. Take them out after heating. You will find that the skin of the raw chestnuts has split directly along the cut. You can peel it gently with your hands to get the flesh inside.

Peeling by machine

The above two methods of removing the skin of raw chestnuts are based on thermal expansion and contraction. By heating the shell, the shell expands, so that the flesh inside can be easily taken out. In addition to these two methods of removing the skin of raw chestnuts, you can also use a special machine to peel the raw chestnuts. In many markets, those merchants selling raw chestnuts have special peeling machines, which can help customers peel for free after purchase, but this machine does not peel cleanly, and you need to go home and deal with it yourself.
