Peeling nuts effortlessly and in a few seconds is possible by choosing one of these 3 tips. Of course, most people use the traditional nutcracker method. A little force is enough and the nuts are shelled without problem. But in addition to this method, there are three others that you can use. Let’s discover them together!
In boiling water
To take advantage of this method, you must bring water to a boil in a saucepan and add the nuts. Once the boiling point is reached, wait a minute, turn off the heat and drain the nuts. Let them sit for a while to let them cool slightly, then crack them with a nutcracker. With this technique, the shell of the nuts will soften and you will be surprised how easy it is to peel the shell.
Microwave
Instead of boiling water in a saucepan, to reduce the time even more, you can put the nuts in a container with water in the microwave, run it until the water boils. Once the nuts have cooled a little, you can peel them, either with your hands or with the help of a nutcracker.
Traditional oven
The last alternative to easily shell nuts is to use the oven. Preheat it to 180 ° C for a few minutes, then transfer the nuts to a baking tray and let them rest for at least 5 minutes. The shell of the nuts will harden slightly, making them very easy to shell later.
