  Chestnut Preparation Warning:
THE most important thing to remember in preparing chestnuts by any method you choose is to make a slit in their skin BEFORE cooking.

We like to use an "X" shape which allows for easier removal of the toasted skin and makes a lovely presentation when served. Please remember that chestnuts have a high moisture content that is released during cooking. Without a slit to let the steam escape, they WILL EXPLODE!
