Equipment

  • Pressure Cooker
  • Slow Cooker

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of raw unsalted peanuts
  • ¾ cup sea salt
  • 10 cups water

Instructions

  • Thoroughly rinse your peanuts in a colander under cold water until the water runs clear.
  • Add your peanuts, salt and water to your cooking vessel of choice, stock pot, pressure cooker or slow cooker.
  • If cooking in a stock pot on the stove – bring everything to a boil and then cook on low for roughly 4 hours, or until the peanuts are at your preferred tenderness.
  • If cooking in a pressure cooker – you will want to make sure the peanuts are full submersed. Place a smaller steamer/air fryer basket half full of water on top of the peanuts to keep them down and covered with water. Lock the lid and turn your pressure valve to seal. Cook on High for 75 minutes with a natural release of at least 30 minutes. The longer they cook the more tender they will be.
  • If cooking in a slow cooker - cover and cook on high for 12 hours.
  • Use a strainer to remove boiled peanuts and serve at the temperature of your choise.
