I stopped here to watch how to baked the chestnuts. I bought few pounds and didn’t know what to do 😀 Thanks 🙏

OMG! Chestnuts roasted on a fireplace! I wish I could try them! For now, thanks for the oven-roasting recipe!

[@PiattoRecipes]

You are so welcome! The oven-roasted chestnuts are equally delicious :)

[@HopeLaFleur1975]

Me too in my lifetime I will never ever get to try roasted chestnuts 😪😪😪😭😭😭😭😭

[@community1854]

Superb demo. The other videos did not tell about soaking and the chestnuts were like hard rocks👌

[@HopeLaFleur1975]

Never heard that you need to soak chestnuts....will try this.💜🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

[@franceleeparis37]

The joy of chestnuts is to peel and eat them outside when it’s cold. The warm chestnuts keep your hands warm and the delicious smell is enhanced in the cold air…🙂…

[@seanymac4514]

I watched your other video on chestnuts, too. Very good videos. Hope my chestnuts turn out good.

[@bonnienichalson5151]

I use a Cast iron Frying Pan to roast chestnuts!works great 👍

Wonderful video, thank you. I read through the description of the video and all the comments, and noticed all requests for the roasting pan direct to that one on Amazon. It may be a similar style but is nothing like the one in the video for craftsmanship and apparent quality. Would you mind commenting on where it was obtained or who makes it? Thank you very much

[@PiattoRecipes]

Hello-- The exact product used in the video can be found here (amazon.it affiliate link): amzn.to/2SrJydm It's 'Made in Italy'. Hope that helps.

[@janikgasiorowski539]

Thank you for the quick reply, and for the exact link. Not available so I bought the other one you linked to anyhow but really appreciate your response. Great tutorial.

[@williambirnbaum1501]

Rather than soaking the nuts in a bowl of water....after I slice open the nuts as you do...I put the nuts in a pot of water on the stove. Bring to a boil and let boil for 15 minutes. Then drain hot water and continue , as you do with cooking them in the oven. I find that the boiling water, helps the nuts open up and the water adds moisture to the nuts. Been doing this for years.....Unfortunately the quality of our nuts have not been so good , slim pickins!!

[@gfriedman99]

I use salt water. Enhances the flavor. The wine idea was intriguing. Leave it to an Italian to think of that lol.

[@Konipas01]

Fire was the best option for me :D

Any idea if I can roast them in airfryer? My airfryer substitutes my oven these days. I am assuming oven method/heat work for roasting chestnuts as well.

I am getting a wood burner installed very soon but for now I will be using my bbq, the oven just lacks a certain something that only a real wood fire can do.

Mine don't even look like they dont fully pop open is it because i didn't cook them long enough or cut both skins ?or is it the species of Chestnut i got what about a normal pan,?

Hi Sam - We always try to include links to equipment used (and ingredients) in the video description. We linked to several products in the video description for this video.

Can we use an air fryer for roasting?🤔

We've never tried that! We look forward to you reporting on your experiment :)

[@gfriedman99]

@@PiattoRecipes How about microwave?

[@ellie4562]

I always struggle with the membrane - it always sticks and can never get it off. Any advice? X

[@PiattoRecipes]

The best way to maximize chances of the membrane not sticking is to follow all of the steps in the video. Be sure to cut through both the outer shell and the membrane when you score. Then the membrane more easily starts popping off with the shell as the nut expands during cooking. If the shell and membrane are dry enough when you peel, it's more likely to pop away easily. There's still no guarantee, but comes off easily most of the time. Hope that helps and buon appetito :)

[@ochakouraraka1886]

I have my own method of making the shells easier to peel off. After cutting half of the skin, pour them in with a bowl of hot water and cover towel on. Let it sit there for 30 min or until the water have cooled a little bit before putting them in the oven or on a pan. That way the shells should easily come off.

[@fadelmahmoudmohammed5254]

👍💐🙋‍♂️

[@judydimino7879]

Can anyone advise what is the paper that is used in the bottom of the roasting pan in the oven method shown? Is it parchment paper, or something else?

[@PiattoRecipes]

Yes, it was parchment paper.

[@gfriedman99]

Does anybody know how long chestnuts will keep fresh when stored? Should they be refrigerated? If I buy them now how long can they be stored before cooking?

[@JetLee1544]

Dark place no moisture, several weeks for sure.

[@birdybea2208]

I think i have a chestnut tree in my buoldings yard i just got attacked by the nuts this morning. And i hate the idea of no one eating them lol

[@volandoencasa]

I didn’t know this is too hard to be cutting to get them ready to put it in water and then bake it. I won’t buy it again with the shells 😅

[@1ugh1]

Hmm..., this shows big Japanese style chestnuts. What if, like us, you have an american hybrid chestnut. It is a great producer but the nuts are MUCH smaller. Have you tried any of those or have a recipe for them. I am sure that "chestnuts roasting on an open fire" referred to the small Amercian chestnut.

[@PiattoRecipes]

Hi Stephen: The larger chestnuts we used are actually the classic Italian 'marrone' chestnuts. However, all of the strategies we've shown in the video work just the same for the smaller chestnuts.

[@elmerfudd5650]

So, there was a chess competition. The chess players all gathered in the large foyer. The doors were not open yet so, they started boasting about how they would easily win the tournament. The boasting got really heated and it became a bunch of chess nuts boasting in an open foyer! 🤣😂🤣😂

[@ivanurena455]

I picked mine from the ground from the tree outside my house and they taste terrible idk if i didn't do it right or it's the chestnuts

[@jenniferdowney6578]

I believe; The ones on the trees don't roast. The ones to roast are called sweet chestnuts.

[@Chacho-i5y]

If they don't open up all the way are they bad an not safe and u shouldn't eat them ?can u eat the fury skin

[@TheTomexification]

They are good. Remove the fury skin. Sometimes you get rotten chestnuts or with worms but that is easy to see once you open them. The chest nuts in the video, probably, were picked one by one to look very good in it, I doubt you can go to a market and pick them one by one; you ask for a kilo or something and they put it in a bag and in that mix you will get some bad and if they are crooks you will get lots of bad ones.

[@KFairchild77]

The best way to eat chestnuts is raw right out of the shell. I can’t get past the texture or taste when they’re roasted 🤮

[@kaymuldoon3575]

Aren’t they kind of bitter when they’re raw?

[@jomc20]

That sounds very indigestible! I admire your digestion though I much prefer the taste roasted.

[@haifaal-saffar2669]

💐😍🇨🇦

[@Mohamed-xb1um]

Sorry why did we soak them in water?

[@PiattoRecipes]

it helps the peeling process

[@CuteLittle_Froggy]

So why soak the chestnuts for 2 hours

[@loopiewho]

I love chestnuts but not roasted . i like them cut then put in to a dish with an egg cup of water put in the micro wave for 4 mins then pour out the water add a bout 2 oz of butter and some pepper then microwave for 3 mins stir them and leave them for 2 mins to cool down then scoff the lot . roasted chest nut are not nice and they taste burnt and are too dr

[@priya328]

I tried your method, they came out nicely. Thanks I tried another method just sprinkle water and microwave 2 min. Flavours are much intense.

[@gfriedman99]

The char is the best part of it.
