    What type of peanuts are you using? Valencia or Virginia? I grew up eating boiled peanuts in central Florida but don't remember what type we had. I think they had more than 2 nuts per shell, so I think they were the Valencia variety. Do you know?

    I've seen a few videos of people "cracking" the shells.. with their teeth. That's pretty silly, to me. I don't crack any other shell with my teeth, I use my fingers. It's quick easy. It would be a huge pain to have to do it with my mouth rather than my hands.

    I like my BP soft and mushy, even sometimes I'll find shells so mushy I eat the shells. BP shells are usually always open anyway. not sure why you'd have to "crack" them.. or use your teeth. A quick half second with my hands.. and I'm in.

    I'm used to eating "Peanut Patch" boiled peanuts. I've also made by own in a crock pot a few times. I eat BP everyday, all day. Seriously.
    I've got a question:

    From all the photos and videos I've seen of the pressure cooker outcome.. the peanuts don't look that different from raw. They also don't appear very soft.
    I enjoy a different variety of textures and soft/hardness to my BP. But most of all, I like them very soft.. almost mushy. I love when they are so mushy, I can eat the shells too.

    So, will a 45min to an hour or so pressure cooker really produce extremely soft BP, like I like? Will some of the shells being extremely soft and I can eat them too? Do the peanuts usually stick and are kinda hard to remove from the inside shell? Kinda like the consistency of mashed potatoes?
    I wish I can find some videos showing the actual close up results from cooking BP in a pressure cooker… showing the texture, softness, shells.. etc.

    Thanks!

    Jill, where did you buy your trivit to help hold the peanuts under the water? The one that came with the Instant Pot is too small. I also like your strainer. Did you say that you can cook the boiled peanuts in the strainer in the Instant Pot?

    One of my fav memories was going to visit my friend in Savannah, GA during the winter months we would buy yummy, cheap boiled peanuts from the convenient store and go eat them on the beach. They kept us warm, full, and happy. They were also good and cheap to buy on a budget. I bought my peanuts today and I'm going to give your recipe a go!

    I am 73 and been eating them all my life, especially during college football games. When I went to college I was even given a special one time schlorship due to the fact that as a boy around 12 I used to walk the streets in dothan alabama and sold fresh boiled and roasted peanuts by the bag. I would holler get your peanuts, boiled or roasted, ten cents a bag or three bags for a quarter. Wow that was a really long time ago. The Tom's peanut snacks in columbus ga. was the company that gave me the gift for college which of course came in handy. I prefer the small valencia peanuts or sometimes called spanish peanuts. The dothan al. area is known for its peanuts and the area is called wiregrass counties of the south.

    Grew up going to Salt Springs every summer! My dad actually lived there for two years in the 1940’s. Thought it would cure his father’s kidney disease. Did not. But he has great memories of living by the springs.

    I live in West Texas but I'm from South Carolina and no one here has ever heard of boiled peanuts. I made some and everybody loved them! Now I've gotta figure out how to get Dukes mayo out here.

    I’m with you Ed, first time I had them I didn’t like them. Now I can’t get enough of them. I think because you’re expecting them to taste like a peanut but boiled peanuts do have a different taste.
