What do I do with fresh water chestnuts?
A quick scrub under running water transforms the muddy corms into smooth and shiny bulbs with dark, purple-brown skin. Only then does their resemblance to the namesake nut emerge. Thankfully, peeling them is a heck of a lot easier than shelling actual chestnuts—a paring knife or, better yet,
Y-peeler
, will make short work of the skin, revealing the snow-white flesh within. But if you're not using your water chestnuts right away, there's no rush to wash or peel them.
"Unpeeled, with the remnants of mud still on their skins, they will keep in a brown paper bag in the refrigerator for seven to 10 days,"
When rinsed and peeled, they'll keep for an additional two to three days in a covered container.
