do other nut become soft when boiled? Re: soft nuts?

[Guest guest]

Maybe I should re-word the question to be more clear.

If I say, boiled pistashios or pecans would they become soft like as

if I boiled peanuts? Boiled peanuts are delicious, but I have never

seen a recipe that says to soak them first. Do you soak them in the

shell, then boil? Please let me know how you make them, Thanks.

Looking forward to a good boiled peanut. The last ones I had were

canned. I was readting on the net that you can use not fresh peanuts

provided you boil them longer. I have a recipe bookmarked using dry

peanuts.

ps. Are other nuts soaked in the sheel or out of the shell?
