Hot chestnuts

The combination of steam and hot air makes these hot chestnuts taste like they just come from a chestnut stand: tender on the outside and butter-soft on the inside. Soak, score, steam and roast – for the ultimate treat in the autumn and wintertime.

Soaking

500 g sweet chestnuts

Soaking

Using a sharp knife, score the chestnuts on their rounded side – make a long slit crosswise in the shell, taking care not to cut into the nut itself. Place the chestnuts in a bowl, cover with water and leave to soak for about 1 hour.

Cooking

Preheat the cooking space to 200 °C using the hot air with steaming mode. Place the chestnuts, scored-side up, on a perforated stainless steel tray, put it into the preheated cooking space and cook for about 30 minutes until tender. Take the chestnuts out of the cooking space and serve hot.
