How to Peel a Loquat
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.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
This is all you need.
- 2
First, cut the the loquat in half, and twist the two sides apart.
- 3
It easily splits in half.
- 4
Remove the stem by pulling it off by hand.
- 5
Peel off the skin before removing the seeds (this way, you can hold it tightly without the flesh falling apart).
- 6
Remove the seeds. The white part around the seeds is the pesky astringent seed coat.
- 7
Scoop out the seed coat with a tea spoon, starting from the bottom end of the fruit and moving toward the stem end.
- 8
It's gone. (The tip of the seed coat is hard to get to, so pick it off by hand.)
- 9
It's easy and pretty. (The flesh will turn brown soon after cutting the loquat open, so place them in a bowl of lemon water to maintain the color.)
- 10
How can I use up all these loquats.
- 11
Loquat jam.
- 12
Here are dried loquats. Place them on a paper towel and microwave in short increments until dry (be careful not to burn them). They are even sweeter this way.

How To Easily Peel Boiled Eggs How To Easily Peel Boiled Eggs
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!!!

Peel the Outer Shells of Chestnuts with a Paring & Butter Knife Peel the Outer Shells of Chestnuts with a Paring & Butter Knife
When I was little, we used to have a small tool to peel chestnuts. If only we had that still, it would be so handy... but then I was inspired to use a butter knife.A small petty or paring knife is easier to use than a large chef's knife. Once you get used to peeling chestnuts, you can do it all with the paring knife, but a butter knife is handy for the task too. I recommend using them especially if working with small children.
