How to peel a hazelnut

[*crikey*mate*]

I like hazelnuts, but when used in cooking or desserts, the skins can be very bitter, but they can be tricky little things to peel, eh?

A simple method is to heat the nuts in the oven, then rub them inbetween layers of a tea towel.

It's pretty effective.

Are you referring to Hazel Nut Waffles?  

I just grate them or ignore them.

Oh!!!! You are the cook/chef aren't you? My method was for wafflers.

*Rushes out to get a bag of hazlenuts* ...  .. no, seriously, that's an excellent idea thank you ...

I prefer almonds. Not a hazelnut fan as a rule. Can always tell if they have not been peeled sufficiently as they are very bitter.


Then they tend to be old too. Which makes them nasty...which is why I do not like local Nutella.

Young, fresh nuts are a bit of a rarity 🙂
