A slow cooker (Crock-pot), stock pot, or Instant Pot - (6-8 qt recommended)
Preparation (Slow Cooker or Stock Pot)
Add 1 gallon of water to pot (enough for bag to fully submerge once cooked)
Place unopened bag in water (bag will float, stamp on bag dissolves)
Cover and cook (min. 8-10 hours for either method)
Reduce to Low once bag has completely submerged and allow to soak for additional flavor and tenderness (2-4 hours...or longer)
Remove bag from pot, Drain and Enjoy. (Caution: BAG WILL BE HOT!)
Preparation (Instant Pot)
Add water to “max fill” line
Place unopened bag of peanuts in water (bag will float, stamp will dissolve)
Seal lid, set steam release to "Do Not Vent" and pressure cook on Hi for 4 hours
Allow Instant Pot to naturally depressurize (about 2-4 more hours)
Remove bag from pot, Drain and Enjoy. (Caution: BAG WILL BE HOT!)
My “lazy” method: Add 1 gallon of water to slow cooker at bedtime. Place unopened bag of peanuts in water. Cover and cook on Hi all night. Reduce to Low in morning. Around lunchtime, remove bag from slow cooker, drain, and enjoy.
