How to shell fresh chestnuts, how to shell fresh chestnuts

Methods of peeling and shelling chestnuts:

First: incision soaking.

Use scissors to split the chestnut in half and remove its hard shell first. Next, put the chestnut pulp in a pot, pour in the hot water that submerges the pulp, cover and soak for 5 minutes, and the chestnut skin can be easily removed. However, in this way, it is impossible to take out the complete chestnut pulp, and those who have no requirements for the appearance can try it with confidence.

The second type: hot water soaking.

Put the cleaned chestnuts in a large bowl, add an appropriate amount of salt and boiling hot water, cover and simmer for 5 minutes. After that, take out the chestnuts and make a small cut at the top with scissors, so that even the shell and skin can be easily peeled off. With enough patience, you can also remove the whole chestnut pulp.

The third type: tail cutting.

The texture of the chestnut shell is harder, only the tail is softer, and the tail is cut with a tool. Put it in a bowl and pour hot water, and after ten minutes peel it off along the incision, and the shell and skin of the chestnut are easily peeled off.

Fourth: cross-shaped knife.

Cut the top of the chestnut with a cross knife and cook in hot water for three minutes. After that, the chestnuts are poured out and peeled off along the cross-shaped incision while they are hot, and the shell and skin can be cleaned.

The fifth: refrigerator freezing.

The cleaned chestnuts are cooked in a pot and cooled before being placed in the freezer layer of the refrigerator. After three hours, the chestnut shell and skin are easily peeled off, which is due to the principle of "thermal expansion and cold contraction", and the pulp is separated from the shell and skin. The chestnut pulp can be taken out completely, and the operation process is also very simple, but it is a little time-consuming.

Sixth: microwave heating.

Make an incision in the cleaned chestnuts and heat them in the microwave for 30 seconds to separate the pulp. Remember to cut the chestnuts in the microwave, otherwise there will be safety hazards during the heating process.

Seventh: Chopsticks stirring.

Cut the chestnuts in half, remove the shells and place them in a bowl of hot water and soak for three minutes. After that, the chestnut peel will be separated from the pulp with the stirring with chopsticks, which is especially practical and does not have to worry about hot hands. The only drawback is that the chestnut flesh is incomplete.

1. Hot water immersion method. Wash the raw chestnuts and put them in a utensil, add a little refined salt, soak them in boiling water, and cover the pot. After 5 minutes, take out the chestnuts and cut them, and the chestnut skin will fall off together with the chestnut shell, which removes the chestnut skin and saves time and effort.

2. Chopsticks stirring. Put all the two cloves of chestnuts, remove the shell and put them in the basin, then you can add some water to soak appropriately, and then stir a few times with chopsticks, and the skin of the chestnuts will be separated from the chestnut flesh. However, it should be noted that the soaking time should not be too long, otherwise the nutritional content of the chestnuts will be affected.

3. Boil in salted water. Use a knife to make a small cut in the middle of the chestnuts, then put the cut chestnuts in salted water, cook for 5 minutes, remove them, and remove the shells and skins of the chestnuts while they are hot.

4. Rice cooker method. The first step, as above, is to cut the chestnuts. Put it in the rice cooker, no need to put water in the cooker. Press the cook button, and after 15 minutes, take out the chestnuts and peel them.

Method 1: First, use a knife to cut the tail of the chestnut; Then put the washed chestnuts in boiling water and cook them over high heat for one minute, so that the chestnuts can easily remove the skin and shell.

Method 2: Cut the chestnut in half and peel off the shell directly; Then put it in a pot and soak it in boiling water for 1 minute, so that the chestnuts can be easily peeled.

Method 3: First, use a knife to cut a hole in the shell of the chestnut, then put the chestnut into the microwave oven, and heat it at high temperature for 1 minute, so that the skin and shell of the chestnut will be easily separated.

Tricks.

First, chopsticks shelling method.

As we all know, our chestnut shells are relatively hard, so if we want to remove all the shells of chestnuts, we can find a pair of chopsticks. After finding out, everyone needs to open the chestnut, but usually when we speak, we will find it more difficult. Because the chestnut is slippery, when we open it again, it slides easily.

So we can place the chestnut between two chopsticks and hold it, and then use a knife to cut it into a cross, and after cutting, we can directly put it into the water and soak it.

When soaking, we try to choose warm water or boiling water, so that it can play the role of thermal expansion and contraction, and the shell will naturally be expanded after being heated, so that it is more convenient for us to remove the shell.

2. Cap shelling method.

Some friends will think that the fixation with chopsticks is not very stable, and it is easy to cut the chopsticks, which will affect the use of chopsticks in the future. If you feel that this problem is not easy to solve, we can also find a bottle cap, generally the bottle cap is relatively large, we can put the chestnut in it.

Then cut a cross knife above the chestnut, so that it can be easily opened, and finally we put the chestnut on the top of the steamer to steam, so that there is no need to get wet, and there is no need to worry about its taste being ruined.

3. Tail cutting method.

Some friends are too lazy to cut the cross on the top of the chestnut, so they will also use some more convenient methods to remove the shell. Generally, the middle of the chestnut is relatively hard, but its tail will be relatively soft, so friends with less strength can cut off the tail of the chestnut with a knife. After cutting it, we soak it in boiling water for about 10 minutes so that the shell can be removed.

Tricks.

Fourth, refrigerator freezing method.

Everyone knows that thermal expansion and cold contraction, so we can use this principle to remove the shell of the chestnut, you can wash the chestnut first, and then put it in the pot to cook. After cooking, we put it directly in the refrigerator and freeze it, about two hours or so, and then we can take it out and peel it. Frozen chestnuts are easy to peel and relatively intact when peeled out, so you don't have to worry about it breaking, and you can use it for soup or eat it directly after peeling it out.
