I had a large amount of fava beans. I was searching for a good way to cook them, and came across a recipe from a TV cooking show called Hanamaru Market.I added the sake to take away the green-raw flavor. It's possible that cooking the beans for two minutes might just be a little too much. They'll still continue to cook because of the residual heat, so you might not even need to boil them for the full two minutes. Recipe by Kyouchan

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'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

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!!!

Peeling chestnuts is easy If you boil them in a pressure cooker and then peel them. If you boil them for a bit longer, you can make boiled chestnuts. Using this method, you can make chestnuts in syrup in their inner skins, peeled chestnuts in syrup, or chestnut rice.If you are doing this in a regular pot, follow the recipe up to Step 3. Put the chestnuts in a pot with enough water to cover them, and simmer over medium heat for about 7 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave the chestnuts in the water to cool down. Then you should be able to peel the chestnuts. For boiled chestnuts, cook them for another 12 minutes and they should be done, although it depends on the size of the chestnuts. You can bring the chestnuts along for sports festivals at school or fall foliage-viewing outings! Recipe by Rika&chako
