How long does it take chestnuts to cook in the oven?

Answer 1

1. Take a cutting board and a knife, and make a cut in the round side of every chestnut. If you are afraid of cutting yourself, use a serrated knife with a short blade. I myself prefer them. There are special chestnut knifes, but it is not necessary that you go out and buy one. A serrated knife works fine.
2. Scatter the chestnuts on a baking dish with the flat side down. Drizzle drops of water over the chestnuts with your fingers. That is, you put your fingers in a cup full of water, and drizzle the water drops over the chestnuts. This step is very important. If you have a water filter in your kitchen, use filtered water.
3. Put the baking dish with the chestnuts in the oven at about 425 degrees F. Place the baking dish as low as possible, that is, as near to the heat source as possible.
4. After roasting the chestnuts for 10 minutes on one side turn them over one by one. Unless you are roasting chestnuts for a huge crowd, the best way to ensure that they are all evenly roasted is to turn them over one by one. If you are roasting chestnuts for a huge crowd, stir them after 10 minutes, and then two more times, every 5 minutes. Whatever the case, don't put more than one single layer of chestnuts in the baking dish.
5. After 20 minutes in the oven they are ready to be eaten. Serve them hot. When you get them right, peeling them is very easy. Traditionally, you use your fingers to peel the roasted chestnuts.
6. If you don't eat them immediately, wrap them in a woolen cloth. In wool, chestnuts can keep warm for up to one hour. After this time, they begin to get cold, even in a woolen cloth, and lose most of its natural flavors. And peeling cold roasted chestnuts becomes very difficult.

Answer 2

It actually doesn't take that long: all of the recipes I found said roughly 15 - 30 minutes, depending on the cooking method. The good news is you can roast them in the oven, on the stove, on the grill, in a fireplace, you name it. Regardless of the method, it is pretty quick and easy.

Answer 3

The best way to roast chestnuts is over the coals, but is usually not very practical. If being roasted in the oven, first preheat the oven to 425 F, and make sure you cut the chestnut to prevent them from exploding. Once the oven is hot enough, place the chestnuts in the oven and check them after 15-20 minutes and they should be done.

Answer 4

cut a slit in each one with a knife, cook them on a baking tray slit side up on 200c for 8-10 mins and let stand for 2

Answer 5

It only takes about 10 minutes. The chestnuts will "pop" when done. The internal steam from the roasting will burst the shell which accounts for the popping sound.

15-20 minutes
