Hi, this is Rachael. I read some of the recent reviews and I feel that's it's unfair to poorly rate this recipe if you don't like the consistentcy of boiled peanuts! This isn't to make crunchy, roasted peanuts, its for soft, boiled peanuts! For the rest of you, I am so THRILLED that ya'll have enjoyed this recipe!

I had never eaten boiled peanuts before fixing these. After 36 hours in the slow cooker I couldn’t wait to try them! The only way I could describe them was like eating lima beans. Maybe with spices! I thought I have screwed the recipe up but after taking them to work and consulting with a guy from Florida he said, “Yelp, they are like that.” Recipe may on the money but I’ll not revisit this experience at home or on the roadside.

Absolutely Superb! I cooked in pressure cooker for 2 hours and slow cooker for additional 2 hrs. Very good peanuts. Thanks!

I don't know how to rate these ... the flavour was great but soft peanuts? From what I've read, Southerners, who are raised with these, will like this recipe, but Northerners (like myself) who are used to crunchy peanuts likely will not. Sorry I can't rate this higher ... just personal preference I guess!

I LOVE boiled peanuts, but have never tried making them myself! These were so easy and wonderful! The package of peanuts I bought were 1.5 lbs, but I kept the measurements the same as the recipe called for since I didn't know how spicy it would be and I knew my 6 yr old would want some too. They still came out amazing! Next time I will cut back a little on the salt, but other than that, I won't change a thing! I cooked them on low for 21 hrs, and then turned it up to high for 2 more hours, and they were good after a total of 23 hours. Some might have given it another hour, but I don't like them too soft. Perfect! Thanks for a great recipe! I will be making these often!!

I thought they were very good. Everyone enjoyed them at our Supper Club. I cooked them for about 26 hours and let them sit and cool in the "brine" so they got even more flavor. I will definitely make them again!

Awesome! I'd never made anything like these so I wasn't sure what to expect. The whole family was pleasantly surprised. I made a few minor changes... I used about 1/8 cup of the red pepper flakes and de-seeded the jalapenos because we don't like super-hot food. They still came out plenty hot!! I also was unable to find unsalted, raw, in-shell peanuts so I used the salted ones and rinsed them as well as omitted the salt. Great recipe! Thanks for sharing.

Yes! I finally found a recipe for peanuts I used to eat all the time as a kid (yes, I've always liked food with a kick). This is a keeper! Beats regular "salt only" boiled peanuts any day.

I had only tried boiled peanuts one time and decided to give these a shot. They turned out really good and were simple to throw together. The wait was hard but good things come to those that wait right? These ended up with just the right amount of spice and salt. Thanks for the great recipe!
