Do chestnuts need to be soaked before roasting?
Online Answer
Soak them before roasting them: Some people recommend soaking the chestnuts for 30 minutes before roasting them. Some others say it doesn't make much difference. I tend to compromise and soak them for a minute, just to make them easier to steam.
