Peel the Outer Shells of Chestnuts with a Paring & Butter Knife

1. 1

   The tools used are a petty knife (a utility knife) and a butter knife.

2. 2

   Put the chestnuts in an enamel pan with water to cover, and bring to a boil.

3. 3

   Turn off the heat and leave to cool.

4. 4

   Shave the pointed part of the chestnut with the paring knife.

5. 5

   I think it's easier to work with the chestnuts later if you peel the flat sides.

6. 6

   Insert the tip of the butter knife and peel off the outer shell.

7. 7

   Peel off the tough bottom part too.

8. 8

   If you can't get it off, use the petty knife.
