Bring the pot to a boil, then allow the peanuts to simmer for around 4 hours

Adjust your stove temperature to high until the water reaches a rolling boil. Cover your pot and reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the peanuts to simmer. Allow the green peanuts to simmer for around 4 hours.

• If you are using dried, raw peanuts, allow them to simmer for at least 10 hours.
• Consider cooking the peanuts in a large crockpot if you have one. This is an especially useful cooking method if you are boiling raw peanuts, which need to be cooked for a long time. Simply add the peanuts, water, and desired flavor seasoning and cook while covered on the lowest heat setting from around 20-24 hours. Periodically stir and add more water to the crockpot as necessary while they cook.
