Each week, the cast of America’s Test Kitchen brings the recipes, testings, and tastings from Cook’s Illustrated magazine to life on our public television series. With more than 2 million viewers per episode, we are the most-watched cooking show on public television.
More than 1.3 million home cooks rely on Cook’s Illustrated and Cook’s Country magazines to provide trusted recipes that work, honest ratings of equipment and supermarket ingredients, and kitchen tips.

This doesn't work. It didn't even come close to working. I just ruined 75% of my chestnuts because of these trolls.
Tried this twice (cutting the end first, and then cutting the pointy tip) and both times didn't work. Like the previous commenter said, the inner pellicle didn't come off. Worse, the chestnut becomes pretty dry and hard to eat.
P.S. I usually trust and like ATK's equipment review so I am very disappointed that the tips don't work.
Tried this. The inner pelicle did not come off.
Thanks for sharing this method.
