Default Re: Chestnuts to go

All sage advice.

I agree with:

1. they have to be fresh
2. they should be slashed
3. they should be charred, but not burned (not too hot, not too cold, just right, at least that what Goldie Locks said)
4. you should giggle them to cook evenly

The street vendors use wood or charcoal fires, which I guess is why the chestnut pan has holes in it -- and the chestnuts get seriously hot. Autumn harvest; perfect for a freezing winter day to keep your hands warm.
