Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Sort and rinse the raw peanuts to remove debris, then soak in cold water for about 30 minutes. Drain the peanuts afterwards.
Place the soaked peanuts in the crockpot and add ¼ cup salt. Cover with water, leaving about an inch of space at the top to prevent overflow.
Set the crockpot to high and cook for approximately 7½ hours, or until the peanuts reach your desired tenderness.
Taste the peanuts halfway through cooking and adjust salt as needed, stirring to combine.
Monitor the water level and add more if necessary to ensure the peanuts remain fully submerged during cooking.
Once the peanuts are tender, drain them and serve warm or store for later snacking.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the salt according to your taste preference.
These boiled peanuts can be stored in the refrigerator for several days.
Experiment with spices by adding garlic, cayenne, or your favorite seasonings.
