When I first was learning how to cook I wondered how to do things. This was one thing I learned from my Mom and Grandmother.

I don't like peeling pomegranates, and so they were a great bother to eat before I knew about this peeling method.Californian pomegranate is a delicious fruit with a gentle, sweet and sour taste, with plenty of polyphenol. You can use the arils for various dishes, desserts, or in drinks.The red arils are perfect for Christmas or New Year's dishes. Recipe by Djnakki-

I received an incredible amount of loquats from my parents' house, from which I've been making jam and frozen loquats.But the more they're handled through removing the skin and seed coats, the more they fall apart.So, after some struggle, I came up with a way to remove the skin and seed coats easily without the flesh falling apart.

I've been peeling tomatoes this way for a while now.See also - Paella in a Frying Pan....Make fairly shallow cuts in Step 1. Also make sure that the tomato is seared evenly. When using a microwave, after making a criss cross slit, microwave it for 30 to 60 seconds without covering with plastic wrap. If peeling in hot water, after making a criss cross slit, soak the tomato in boiling water for 15-20 seconds, then soak it in cold water. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

This is the method my sweetie came up with since he wants to eat cleanly peeled grapefruit every day.Every piece is cleanly peeled and delicious.In Step 4, if you remove the white pith as cleanly as possible, the rest is very easy.In Step 6, if you gently split the fruit in half so as not to crush the segments, you can peel them very cleanly.In Step 8, cutting into the corners is the key to removing the membranes.

I wanted to know why boiled eggs can be peeled easily sometimes and then they're impossible to peel other times. I did some research and this was the result. With this method, I have no more problems peeling boiled eggs! This method works so perfectly that I want to pass it down to my child (who's still a baby, though) and grandchildren (even thoughdon't have any yet) and to future generations!Through my research, I concluded that if the egg whites coagulate as quickly as possible, they separate from the thin inner skin of the egg, making it easy to peel.So starting with cold eggs and cold water doesn't work!!!

I wanted to make the bothersome job of peeling chestnuts easier. I experimented with the pressure cooker until I settled on this recipe. The pressure cooked chestnuts will still be on the firm side, good for making chestnut rice.Pressure cooking the chestnuts for 2 minutes softened them too much that some crumbled when I tried to peel them, so about a minute is good!

When September rolls around, I get busy cooking with chestnuts.I wanted to share my method of peeling them.Cut right through with the knife and what you have left will look clean.If you're afraid of being wasteful or worried that you'll cut off too much flesh, you'll end up with rough and dirtied chestnuts, so don't hold back.
