New Quick Trick to Cook Chestnuts in a Pan! Simple & Fast

Craving some delicious chestnuts but don’t want to wait for the oven? There’s a quick and easy way to cook chestnuts right on your stovetop. This method is not only simple but also fast, giving you perfectly roasted chestnuts in no time. Let’s get started on this delightful treat that’s perfect for cozy evenings or as a nutritious snack.

Ingredients:

Fresh chestnuts

A splash of water

A pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions:

Prepare the Chestnuts:

Start by rinsing the chestnuts under cold water to clean them.

Using a sharp knife, carefully make a small X-shaped cut on the flat side of each chestnut. This prevents them from bursting during cooking and makes them easier to peel later.

Heat the Pan:

Place a large, heavy-bottomed pan or skillet on the stovetop over medium heat.

Let the pan heat up for a minute or two.

Cook the Chestnuts:

Add the prepared chestnuts to the pan in a single layer. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan so they cook evenly.

Pour a small splash of water into the pan. The water will create steam, helping to cook the chestnuts evenly.
