Nuts are added to boiling water before being transferred to a container.
Boiling nuts is a handy trick that makes nut shelling a breeze, saving time and nerves in the process. This method works by softening the shells and loosening their attachment to the nut inside, making it easier to crack or peel off the shell after boiling.
The process is similar to how boiling helps loosen the shell of hard-boiled eggs. The heat causes expansion, which can crack or loosen the outer shell, and softens the shells, making them more brittle and easier to break open. After boiling, the nuts can be cooled to facilitate shell removal, as the cooling process firms the nut and shrinks the shell slightly.
This method is practical in household chores that involve shelling nuts, reducing the manual effort required and speeding up the process. It's particularly useful when you don't have a nut cracker or a hammer on hand.
In addition to making shell removal easier, boiling nuts also prevents scattered shells in the kitchen. Once the nuts start to open, they can be scooped out with a strainer, making clean-up a breeze.
On a side note, boiling nuts doesn't require any special equipment. You can simply boil them in water for a few minutes. And if you're heading to the beach, don't forget to pack an old rag from the closet. By folding it into a beach mat with edges, you can eliminate the need for a lounger. After a day at the beach, sprinkling some substance on your feet can help with easy removal of sand and water, enabling slip-on of shoes.
