How To Roast Peanuts

You can do a home roasting of peanuts with one of our PEANUT ROASTER KITS (also linked to the Peanut Roaster images above) for your George Foreman or RONCO Showtime Rotisserie unit, and even your home BBQ!

The following instructions are guidelines to use when roasting nuts using the George Foreman or RONCO units and our kits. Please note that our kits for BBQ's uses a similar roasting process, however a bit more involved. Full instructions for roasting are included with all of our Peanut Roaster Kit and Complete nutROAST-IDM and nutROAST-ODM purchases.

ROASTING INSTRUCTIONS

At this point you have the peanut roaster kit filled with filled with up to 1 pounds of peanuts.  We suggest that you try a smaller amount at first - about 1/2 pound.  Or use the 1/2 cup of peanuts we supplied.  Some people like to first put a little oil or melted butter on their peanuts before roasting, others prefer completely dry to roast.  I will leave that up to you as to how you would like to do it.  Maybe even experiment a bit!

Turn your rotisserie and set timer for 20 minutes.  Make sure you have the rotisserie in a VERY WELL VENTILATED AREA (OUTSIDE!), as it will produce smoke due to the roasting process.

It won't take very long until the peanuts get done.  You may be able to see a bit of their color through the glass of the rotisserie and the holes in the drum.  I suggest that you stop the unit at 15 minutes and take a look at the peanuts.  If they are a bit browner at this point, maybe they will be done to your liking. They do not have to be real brown to be done.

REMEMBER:  The peanuts will still roast a bit after taking them out of the roaster.

When you get to the point that you desire, it is very important to turn off the Rotisserie and remove the Peanut Roasting kit, removing the end cap and pouring out the nuts into an aluminum pan, or equivalent that will not melt or break.

CAUTION!!  MAKE SURE YOU USE HEAT PROOF MITTS TO HANDLE
THIS VERY HOT DRUM and all of its parts!

After dumping out the peanuts be sure to stir them continuously until they have cooled down completely.  Remember that they are still cooking, and that due to such you need to stop this cooking process by cooling them off as such.

Put some salt on them, and eat them up!  YUM!
