Boiling Peanuts

In a instapot is the way to go! 1lb of peanuts with 1/2 cup of salt. Throw in your water. A little less salt if you prefer. They’ll be ready in an 1-1 hr 10 mins.

Yip.

Anyone got a good Cajun recipe? We had some the other day with jalapeños in em, they were some kinda fine.

Anyone know where I can get some green peanuts in Shelby County?

Maybe the produce place across from Staples in Alabaster?

Publix has raw peanuts.

Yep, I got an instapot two years ago and the first thing I did was boil peanuts.
In one hour you can have the best peanuts you ever tried.

What setting do you use on your instapot? New to using an instapot.

Why would you want to rush boiling your peanuts? When are you supposed to drink beer?

Same here, I need this critical info..... Boiled peanuts are Keto friendly

I use the steam setting, and put 60 minutes on the timer.
Close the whistle valve and release the pressure after 60 minutes.
It'll take several minutes to vent, so don't place it under your cabinets or anywhere you don't wish to be salt steamed.

Wayne's Produce in Pelham.

Thanks for the idea boys. Cooking some up today. Isom’s in Athens has green peanuts.

we did 10 quarts last week. 5 salt, 5 cajun. used old bay and pepper flakes for the cajun and it was some f'n count!

It's not rushing. It's called expedited. And you can drink beer while enjoying those delicious morsels.

Because drinking BEER and eating boiled peanuts is a whole lot better than drinking BEER and watching peanuts boil.

Deer Tracker, you think anyone is gonna help us out on how to set one of them dang instapots to boil peanuts?

Do we need another reading comprehension class?

I don't need a reading comprehension test, I need a did you see every post test. Because until you quoted that, I didn't see it.

Blind in one eye and can't see out the other!

And can't hear outta neither ear.

😉👍 I use the high pressure setting too. When you turn the steam valve to "closed" it will still vent excessive pressure so no need to worry about any kind of explosion.
Just turn it to vent before opening, and allow it to completely depressurize.

How much water do you put in the pot?

I don’t have all the answers I just ordered my instant pot when I saw this. I’ll be boiling peanuts within the hour.

Peanuts
Salt to liking (1/2 cup / pound ish)
Cover with water
Weight peanuts into water with trivet
High Pressure for one hour.
Release steam
Eat.

Is this correct?

My wife said. 1lb of green peanuts, 1/2-3/4 cup of salt, cover with water, cook on pressure high for 1.5 hrs. Thats it.

I’m headed to coffee county tomorrow to stomp some vines. Got the word they ready!!

Call Fidler Farms In Baldwin County and have them ship you a bushel of the super jumbos when they start digging after Labor Day.

Try adding hot chili peppers and citrus to your pot of boiled peanuts.

Boiled p-nuts are nasty.

Ralph at our camp makes the best I’ve ever had and I love them things. He makes a chicken broth from rooster bones and only uses green peanuts. He warshes them in cold ice water and adds his broth and water and sea salt. I know his recipe but not the preportions. I e tried and tried but can’t make them like he does. Makes the camp house smell right

Rooster bones are a must. Can't be hen bones!!

According to their FB page, they won't have any super jumbos this year.

I tried my instapot for boiled peanuts and let them go75 min, and natural release. They were still pretty crunchy, so I went another 20 minutes and really not much better. Ended up tossing them. Some of you pro's tell me what I did wrong!

I put the pro boil to them instead of salt and I add 1/3 of a bottle of red pepper flakes when in instant pot. If boiling big batch outside I’ll dump an entire bottle. The so called “Cajun” ones from stores and others are a joke in my opinion

Winn Dixie sells raw in 2lb bags. Jumbos

Using green peanuts or dried peanuts?

Salt and cayenne pepper is all I use.

The package just says raw.

I've found about 4 1/2 to 5 hrs in the instapot gets them right.

24 hrs in the crock pot on low and they are pretty much perfect.

Good deal! I will give it a shot.

Probably dry, then. You can get them there, but it'll take a while.

I like the Spanish peanuts a lot more than the jumbo's. They have 3 or 4 nut to the shell.

As long as J&J Farms in Cottondale, FLA are growing, digging, washing and sacking them, I have stomped up my last peanuts! Done got too lazy.

Green if you can get them. They are going to boil better.

Are ya'll talking about using table salt or rock salt???

Himalayan Pink salt boi

WUT!

I've heard they don't appeal to sissys.

I love the Cajun ones. In the can. All kinds of trashy unidentified spices in there.Mmmm

Raw are mature peanuts just uncooked. Green are juvenile peanuts and have more moisture and cook better. If using raw soak in water for 24 hrs before cooking. My pot is dinging on the second batch I did green, 1:25, crab boil, creole, red pepper flakes, Franks hot sauce and some diced jalapeño. I’ll report on the outcome if they don’t kill me.

I'm gonna plant me some peanut trees this fall so I don't have to go to the store no mo! Should produce in the 3rd season. Hopefully the deer won't eat the low hanging ones before I can get the ladder out there and pick 'em.

They are nuts.

that's a great Idea! can't be any more difficult to pick up than pecans are...

They still boiling in luverne this year?

I know!!!! It's better than digging up strawberries and corn!

My peanut trees are loaded this year.

Nope.

I hope it's not anything like that popcorn tree I planted a few years ago.
That was a big disappointment.

Yep. First batch will be ready Wedneaday afternoon

I’ve used rock salt but my brother said that it’s not good to eat too much of it. Don’t know if that’s true but I been using un-iodized table salt since. I boil some “Cajun” ones too. Liquid seasoning, dry seasoning and some extra salt. Let them soak for a few hours after shutting them off.

Thanks, Simpleman! I wound up using table salt- 1/4 cup per pound and let it soak a few after the instapot depressurizes. Man, those things turned out fine!

Just boiled my first batch in the Instapot this weekend. 2# peanuts, 1/2 cup sea salt, about 1/4 cup Tony Chachere's (we didn't have any jalapenos), covered with water. High setting for 60 minutes on the instapot then let the pressure bleed off on its own (I remembered them a couple of hours later). Popped the lid off and they were some of the best I've ever done. Needed more spice (will pick up some jalapenos for the rest of the bag that didn't get boiled)

The instapot is THE BOMB!
Love mine!

last weekend i seen a farmer that already had his turned, around elba

They are getting them turned around the house

May want to check this guys IP Address.
Who are you and what have you done with Out Back?

I've been touting the praises of the instapot all along.
First time I boiled peanuts in mine I was impressed.

Nice.
My wife has really started using ours a lot since the Covid started.
She makes a sausage pasta that is really just ground sausage, prego sauce and penne pasta. It is good.
I also learned to make cheesecake in it, and it is as good as you will try anywhere.

I love a crock pot AND I love a pressure cooker.
The instapot is the best of both. Who could not like that?

We were talking today about boiling peanuts, co-worker said too put the bone from your boston butt in with the peanuts, said it was killer.

My grits tree started producing in year three. Ummm good.

Yall dont know what good eating is till you've ate from a third year tater tree

Sweet tater tree? Or Irish

One them Irish massage chinese varieties, pickum by the 5 gallon buckets

Never heard of that one. You get it from whild Bill? Or extreme heights hunter?

Can't remember, you can ask Joey boy when he gets off them callused knees

😳😳😳

Damn

These damn instapots can cook some peanuts. Just did my first batch, followed the general directions of all the Aldeer cooks previously posting. Pretty good goobers. Might need to let them soak a little longer next time but excellent first try

I think I will move this thread to the Buffet Forum. Boiling peanuts is pretty easy the normal way, not in one of those insta-pots gizmos.
