How to prepare Microwave Chestnuts
- To prepare microwave chestnuts as first thing choose the best chestnuts, not pierced. Wash them well under water, and drain them. Score them with a knife and place them in a bowl. Cover with water and let them stand for about 10 minutes.
- Drain them again and transfer them to an ovenproof dish suitable for microwave cooking. Cook the chestnuts in the microwave with the combination function (microwave + grill) at 1000 W or otherwise at maximum power for 5 minutes. Finish cooking by operating only the grill for another 2 minutes.
- Once ready let them rest for about 10 minutes, then peel them. Arrange the microwaved chestnuts in a small bowl and enjoy!
