Instant Pot Chestnuts Recipe

Score the chestnuts with an 'X' on the flat side to prevent bursting.

Place the scored chestnuts in the Instant Pot.

Add water to the pot, ensuring the chestnuts are submerged.

Sprinkle salt over the chestnuts for flavor.

Seal the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to sealing.

Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.

Once cooking is complete, perform a quick release of the pressure.

Open the lid carefully and let the chestnuts cool for a few minutes.

Peel the chestnuts while they are still warm for easier removal of the shell.

Serve warm as a snack or side dish.
