Tips & Secrets
- Using fresh green peanuts is mandatory for achieving the most professional-grade authentic sweet flavor.
- Ensuring the peanuts are boiled with a high salt concentration provides the absolute secret to achieving superior professional-grade savory depth.
- The addition of a little oil to the water prevents the water from frothing and provides the essential professional-grade clean finish.
- Always allow the peanuts to soak in the hot salt-water for 10 minutes after pressure cooking specifically to ensure the signature professional-grade flavor-lock is achieved.
