New easy quick trick for cooking chestnuts in a rice cooker 🌰

During Autumn, We headed to Tesco and purchased these huge chestnut. Creating delicious and nutritious snacks at home using a rice cooker is incredibly easy! It has turned into one of my go-to chestnut treats at home. 

Start by placing a 400g a bag of chestnuts in a rice bowl pan, which I got for £2.50 with my club card price. Rinse them thoroughly under running water and soak them for about 30 minutes. This will help soften the shells, making them easier to cut. I recommend using chestnut clip for this task instead of a knife.

Just set the chestnut on its flat side, give it a little press, and voilà! Your chestnut is perfectly scored and all set for roasting. No need for knives or any risky finger movements.

Start by rinsing the uneven shells well, then fill a pot with water so that it completely covers the chestnuts. Put the pot in the rice cooker and set it to steam for 30 minutes. After that, press the button again for another 30 minutes. Once done, pour out the water, rinse the chestnuts again, and let them drain thoroughly. 

(Helpful tips: The rice cooker should steam for a minimum of 45 minutes, while the dry toast with honey needs at least 15 minutes).

Mix in 2 tablespoons of honey or sugar, and then toast them for about 15 minutes to 30 minutes before finishing, stir them occasionally to achieve a caramel flavour and a nice toasted look.

Good job! It's all done!  

PARIS EIFFEL TOWER Hotel | Balcony Eiffel Tower View 2024

 

Hello, everyone! Are you reading this? If yes, I'd appreciate a like, reactions on this post! This video showcases our two-night stayed in the junior suite at Timhotel Tour Eiffel, along with some convenience local spots like cafes, a bakery, a florist, and a fruit shop. The views of the Eiffel Tower from the balcony are stunning, and the overall atmosphere is pleasant and budget-friendly. I had the pleasure of staying at the Timhotel Tour Eiffel, where I reserved the junior suite, only the 1 junior suite room available at the hotel, which made securing a booking quite difficult. I monitored the website weekly in the lead-up to our vacation, and I distinctly remember that on January 1st, following Christmas and New Year, I was able to select the junior suite. However, it was always fully booked there. The cost for 2 nights €438 which is a great value given the price, the prime location, and the breath-taking views of the Eiffel Tower from the balcony. When I have tasks to complete, I’m really not a fan of going on vacation. Is there anyone else who feels the same way? However, once everything is in order, it becomes time to unwind. Since, I don't like going on holiday. Anyone else? I enjoy stayed at home more than going on vacations, and that’s definitely the case! My main goal was to put in a ton of effort into experimented and created a new recipes nonstop, along with cooking and baking a bunch. I also focused on renovating my house to make it my dream home. I rid of the old storage, set up a beautiful garden, designed a new kitchen, and built a glasshouse in the backyard. It took a lot of time, energy, and investment. Then. now. everything's settled. I've got what I needed. I've made the choice to wrap up my emotional and challenging journey so I can prioritize loving myself first. Once I reach the age limit for IVF and start looking into adoption, I'll put together a video to share my story with everyone! :) My husband has been to Paris nine times, which is three times more than I've been. I've visited Paris six times, and my latest trip was by far the best! I organized everything myself, from the daily itinerary to selecting our hotels, cafes, restaurants, and attractions. I really enjoy taking the lead on our vacations, and my husband is always on board with my ideas. Every moment of this trip was a gem. I'm super excited for my next adventure in Paris, and it’s coming up soon!

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out—I'm here to help!
