Apparently there were 8 threads about this last week, and I still can't find them with the search.

Water, peanuts, and salt. do-it to-it.

I use water, salt and liquid Zatarain's crab boil. Put them in the crock pot and let them cook for 6-8 hours if dried, not nearly as long if using green peanuts.
A lot of salt.

Done it twice in past 3 weeks. This past weekend's were bueno.

GOTTA get raw or green peanuts, I didn't understand that the first time. No Roasted Nuts.

I then proceeded with the cooking.

Got a gallon tub on the crock pot (Maybe 1.5, not sure). Filled with 2/3 nuts, and probably close to half gallon of water.

Then ingredients I used:
~1/4 cup of salt
~1/4 cup of Tony's
2 tbls of liquid boil... will add an ounce of powder next time as well
Lastly, about 1/8 cup to 1/4 cup of Worchestire


I left on low for about 20 hours.

I also been wanting to attempt a peanut boil.


I love some hot boiled peanuts but I have no idea on cooking them.

20 hrs in a crock pot? Wow. Didn't realize it would take that long.

What about a regular crawfish boiling pot with a burner outside? How long for that?

Now I'm craving boiled peanuts...

Where would one find jumbo green peanuts??? In the Houston area...

simple

Burner water Louisiana Crab boil Raw Peanuts. Boil about 3-4 hours soak for as long as you like.

Fall time is hunting, football, cool weather and Boiled Peanut Time



Note:
if you do them inside on the stove, be sure to keep adding water to the pot. I got busy outside once and the smoke that came off the burning peanuts would take your breath way. It was bad.

Everybody raved over mine from Sat. Was the first time I did it


Hallf of a big jug of crab boil and 8oz liquid. bring to boil and add nuts. Boil for 2 hours and add a thing of salt. Boil another 45 min -hour and make sure they are soft. Add 8 more ounces of liquid boil and stir in. Let soak for 3 hours then bag em.
