answers to their problems, and that doesn’t factor in those who left a question and tried back later.

To be roasted in the shell, peanuts are cooked at medium heat for about 15 minutes. They may be plain roasted or seasoned roasted-in-the-shell. To season peanuts in the shell - prior to roasting- the peanuts are washed and then the seasonings, which are dissolved in water, are forced through the shells by a pressure process.
