How to Shell Raw Peanuts
- 1). Sit in a comfortable chair with a newspaper across your lap. Place a large bowl on a table within reach of the chair. Alternatively, you can spread a sheet of newspaper on a counter top and stand to do this task.
- 2). Place a handful of raw peanuts on the newspaper.
- 3). Pick up a peanut and hold it between your thumb and forefinger along the seams of the peanut shell.
- 4). Squeeze until the peanut shell cracks apart or shatters.
- 5). Place the nuts inside the shell into the large bowl and allow the shell pieces to fall back onto the newspaper. Continue the process with the remaining peanuts.
