Preparing chestnuts in the microwave
First put the chestnuts under water. Then cut along the rounded part of the fruit. Once you have done this, pour enough water into the plastic container with the chestnuts to soak all the chestnuts in it. Cover the bowl with a paper towel and microwave for about 3 minutes (depending on the amount of chestnuts). Next comes the hardest part: peeling. The key is to peel them while they are still hot, but not too hot for good measure. Therefore, pour them with a little cold water and immediately go into action. This way, the shell will come off the easiest. Have a good run!
