Wayne O’s Boiled Peanuts

If a slow cooker is more your speed (and time is on your side), you can use one to cook your peanuts, too. Depending on the slow cooker size, you may have to reduce the amount of peanuts, salt, and water. For 1½ pounds (680 g) of peanuts, use a 6-quart slow cooker and ¼ cup all-purpose seasoning, ½ cup kosher salt, and 14 cups (3.3 L) of water. Cook on high, 10 to 12 hours, for raw, soaked peanuts, or 4 to 6 hours for green peanuts. See instructions below for soaking raw peanuts.
