What is the best way to peel chestnuts?
Online Answer
To peel fresh chestnuts, rinse, then make a nick in the skin on the flat side of each and simmer in a pan of water for 15 minutes or roast in the oven for 15 minutes. Then peel, taking care to remove both the outer shell (quite easy) as well as the inner brown membrane (trickier)..

You may also consider a peeler with a ceramic blade since they're not only lightweight and rust-resistant, but also generally a sharper blade than steel — and one that stays sharp for a longer time. That said, ceramic peelers aren't the most durable choice, since the blades can chip or break when dropped.
