How to peel hazelnuts : Photo of step #26

Stage 9/10 :

You may have a few "resistant" hazelnuts, which retain a small piece of skin, as in the photo.

There are three possible solutions:

1) Put them back in the oven on the baking sheet for 3 to 5 minutes, and start all over again.

2) Scrape off the remaining skins with a knife.

3) Keep them as they are, as this little bit of remaining skin isn't really a problem, unless your hazelnuts are going to be used for decoration.
