Peel the Outer Shells of Chestnuts with a Paring & Butter Knife
- 1 Butter knife
- 1 Paring knife
- The tools used are a petty knife (a utility knife) and a butter knife.
- Put the chestnuts in an enamel pan with water to cover, and bring to a boil.
- Turn off the heat and leave to cool.
- Shave the pointed part of the chestnut with the paring knife.
- I think it's easier to work with the chestnuts later if you peel the flat sides.
- Insert the tip of the butter knife and peel off the outer shell.
- Peel off the tough bottom part too.
- If you can't get it off, use the petty knife.
