Steps:

- Drain and rinse the peanuts. Add the peanuts to a 12-quart pot along with the salt and 3 gallons of water. Stir well. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours. Check the texture of the peanut at this point for doneness. When done, boiled peanuts should have a similar texture to a cooked dry bean. It should hold its shape, but not crunch when bitten. Add more water throughout the cooking process, if needed. If necessary, continue cooking for 3 to 4 hours longer.
- Drain the peanuts and store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- *Cook's note: The cooking time can vary greatly depending on how fresh the peanuts are. The fresher the peanut, the less time it will take to cook.

BOILED PEANUTS (BAWLD PNUTS)
Here's the best recipe for 'bawld' peanuts I have ever found y'all... got it from the Piggly Wiggly flyer LOL - seriously. They are the only ones I've found that actually taste like the roadside versions. A little bit of cayenne would make these Hawt Bawld Pnuts. Now when I say salt to taste... the original called for 1/4 to 1/2 box of salt - I just pour a whole lotta in there and they've always turned out.

BOILED PEANUTS
I grew up on Miami, my parents were from georgia...I can remember summers spent with cousins in the tobacca fields and I remember great big black iron pots at the family reunion with greens and another with boiled peanuts..they were good times! There was always a huge slab of smoked meat in the pot of peanuts...and my folks would always start a pot with smoked meat and hot peppers for those who like life "Spiced up" a bit. I still fix mine that way altho we don't have them often, Try it..especially if you are one who doesn't care for boiled peanuts..these will change your mind I hope! It is difficult for me to give the correct quantity of water and salt opposed to the peanuts as I never measure.

Steps:
- I had trouble putting in 2-3 lbs of green raw jumbo peanuts. I am new at posting -- please forgive.
- Wash peanuts well to get rid of excess grit.
- I always cover my peanuts with water add 1/2 the salt and bring to a boil for approx 15-20 minutes
- Pour off that water and add more and the rest of the salt and smoked meat a cook until they are finished. You may need ro add more salt, this can be done as they cook and you begin to taste for doneness.
- Usually a couple of hours on medium simmer.really to suit your own taste.I like mine fairly soft. Salt also is to your own taste. I split my batch in half most of the time and add hot peppers to taste as my kids love them hot.
- Also, after they are finished cooking take them out of the water.if you don't they will continue to absorb the salt and will become way to salty.
- Enjoy.and please let me know how you like them!

Steps:
- Add the raw peanuts to a slow-cooker; add water to cover, then add the salt.
- Place the lid on the slow-cooker; cook on HIGH.
- Every 2 hours, while the peanuts are cooking, give them a stir, and add additional water if needed (the water should always be at about the same level as the peanuts).
- With the exception of you spot checks--the slow-cooker should be kept covered throughout the cooking process.
- When the peanuts have cooked 6 hours, taste them (you do remove the outer shell before eating one).
- If they are too salty, remove some of the salty water and replace it with fresh water.
- If they are not salty enough, add more salt.
- Continue cooking for at least a few hours more--every hour after the initial 6 hours of cooking, remove a peanut, let it cool down, and taste for doneness.
- The final product should be tender yet firm and should be salty and earthy in taste.
- The cooking process can take up to 12 hours to reach this point (the proper cooking time is very subjective; cook the peanuts to your taste).
- When desired doneness, drain the peanuts and serve them warm.

BOILED PEANUTS
I have been making boiled peanuts like the ones I get at the boathouses in FL. I was told to use raw peanuts, which is hard to find in Ohio. On my last trip to Florida, they told me to use regular peanuts. I did and they turned out fine. I also tried it with dry roasted peanuts and it did not work.

- Season the peanuts with your favorite spices or seasonings. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
- Serve the peanuts warm or at room temperature. They can be eaten as a snack, used as a side dish, or added to salads or soups.
