Boiling Water Method
To use this, boil water in a pot and add the walnuts. Once boiling, wait a minute, turn off the heat, and drain the nuts. Let them cool a bit, then crack them open with a nutcracker. This softens the shell, making peeling surprisingly easy.
Microwave Technique
For a quicker method, place walnuts in a container with water and microwave until the water boils. Once cooled, peel them with your hands or a nutcracker.
Traditional Oven Approach
Another simple way is using your oven. Preheat it to 180°C, place walnuts on a baking sheet, and let them sit for at least 5 minutes. The shells become slightly hard, making them easier to peel.
