Morning DaveRick, morning..... OK.... I'm in on this boiled peanut thing..... I've heard about them for years but Washington State is not a peanut growing area.... Is this item something that is OK for making them ??? seems peanuts have many descriptions and some are not good for doing what you did.... So, will these work ?? If YES, then I need a recipe...... Dave

You got it! Once you taste them done "right"...will never go back to roasted ones! In my humble Southern Opinion! (grin)If peanuts aren't green they just aren't going to taste like boiled peanuts. If they are raw and the meats aren't hard and dried yet, you can take the time to slightly crack each one and this will allow them to take on the salt. They still need to sit in the frig for a few hours and then should be removed from the salty water or they will get to salty. Dry raw peanuts will not work. The peanut shell must still be soft and damp or you may as well roast them. Warning....You can get hooked on good boiled peanuts.
I don't crock pot mine....I use a huge stock pot....and once they start to boil....turn down a bit...and let them rip.Do y'all set your peanuts on low or high in the crockpot? i've done low before and after 12-14 hours they start to soften. I was wondering if you could speed up the process and do it on High for 4-6 hours then low till your tenderness is where you want it
