Peel hazelnuts - how it works

Whether in a cake or as a snack in between - peeled hazelnuts are very tasty. The brown skin is not for everyone. We will tell you here how you can peel hazelnuts with little effort with this simple trick.

Peel the hazelnuts and remove the brown skin

Peeling hazelnuts seems like an insurmountable task. But it's not that difficult if you know how to do it. With this trick, peeling is no longer a problem.

• Preheat your oven to 180 ° C circulating air.
• Take the hazelnuts and spread them on a baking sheet.
• Roast the hazelnuts for about 10 minutes. The brown skin should have broken open in some places. Be careful not to roast the nuts for too long as this can negatively affect the taste.
• Take the hazelnuts out of the oven and put them in a tea towel. Alternatively, you can also use a sieve to sieve the bowls directly into the kitchen sink or trash can.
• Form a bag with the tea towel and rub the nuts together, or do the same with the sieve. How is entirely up to you - the main thing is a lot of movement.
• Open the "pouch" every now and then and check whether the brown skin has already largely loosened from the nuts. If so, the peeling was successful!
  
• Tip: Stubborn nuts can also be roasted again.

The alternative to the oven

If you don't have an oven, you can still peel hazelnuts in a simple way:

• You can also simply roast your hazelnuts in the pan.
• To do this, you need to heat the pan with the nuts. However, do not use any additional oil!
• Again, the skin of the hazelnuts should burst after about 10 minutes.
• Place the hazelnuts in a tea towel or strainer and use the same method as the oven to remove the brown skin.
