SUMMARY— A new procedure for measuring the ease of skin removal from peanuts is described. A simple device was constructed from readily, available materials and will blanch a 250g sample in 2 min. A series of tests showed that the procedure has excellent precision and compares favorably with two commercial dry‐blanching operations.
