Cooking Steps
Step1:Peel the chestnut. First cut a cross of chestnut shell. Then put it into the pot. Pour in water and a spoon of salt. Cook for 10 minutes. Peel off the chestnut. This time, I found that some chestnut skins and shells were very easy to peel off. But some chestnut skins did not fall with the shells. At this time, you can use a small knife to carefully peel off the chestnut skins. No matter what way to peel. Chestnut must not be cold. Let alone peel after cold water. Otherwise you will peel very painful believe me. Don't pour out the boiled chestnut. Soak it in hot water and peel it slowly. It will be much easier to keep them warm and peeled.)
