In life, people often hear that "chestnuts are delicious but the skin is hard to remove". Now that chestnuts are on the market in large quantities, many people are beginning to worry about removing the chestnut skin. In fact, there are some methods and techniques to remove chestnut skins. It is not as difficult as people say. I will write down the method of quickly peeling chestnuts in a while, and everyone can easily remove the chestnut skin after learning it.

1. Alternating hot and cold method

Normally, people can remove the chestnut skin by using the principle of thermal expansion and contraction. Use scissors to cut a cross on the surface of the purchased chestnuts, then put them in a pot with clean water, and cook them for three minutes after boiling. Then turn off the heat immediately. After taking out the chestnuts, put them in ice water. At this time, the flesh will naturally separate from the skin after being cooled, and the chestnut skin can be removed by gently peeling it with your hands.

2. Microwave heating method

Microwave ovens are a small household appliance that every household has now. You can use them to peel chestnuts. The specific method is to wash the chestnuts with clean water, cut a small cross on the surface with scissors, put them on a plate, put them directly into the microwave, heat them on high heat for two minutes, shake them a few times after taking them out, heat them on high heat for 20 minutes, and then take them out. At this time, you will find that the flesh and skin of the lychee have been naturally separated, and you can just remove the cracked skin with your hands.

3. Sun exposure method

Usually, if people buy fresh raw chestnuts and want to eat them raw, they can put them in the sun. After one or two days, the shell of the chestnut will crack naturally. At this time, whether it is sonication or peeling after cooking, it is very easy to remove the shell of the chestnut and the thin skin of the flesh. However, if you want to store the purchased chestnuts for a long time, you can't put them in the sun, otherwise they will easily deteriorate during the storage process.
