- Then you’ll need a frying pan. It must have holes, like the one in our photo. You can make such a frying pan for chestnuts out of an old aluminum frying pan. Just make holes in it.
Frying Pan
- Cover the entire bottom of the frying pan with chestnuts. Cover the chestnuts with napkins or paper towels folded in many layers and moistened profusely.
- Put the frying pan on the stove and shake them from time to time making the chestnuts turn over and fry evenly.
- You’ll have to watch that the napkins are properly moistened. When they begin to get dry you must moisten them again.
- Baking time is about 15-20 minutes. When you see that the chestnuts’ peel is charred remove the napkins and continue shaking the pan for several minutes more.
- Then turn the heat off and heap the chestnuts on a plate. Eat fried chestnuts at once; they are the tastiest when they are hot.
