Step 1
Using a small sharp knife or a chestnut knife, carve an "X" in the flat side of each chestnut. Place chestnuts in an even layer, "X"-side down, in a chestnut-roasting pan. Cook chestnuts over low heat until opened, 20 to 25 minutes. Peel immediately, using a towel if chestnuts are too hot to touch.

Does anyone know where you can get the tool (or what it's called) that Martha used to cut the X into the chestnuts before the roasted them? Thanks!
