Ingredients
Scale

Instructions
- Rinse and soak the peanuts by sorting through them, removing shell debris, and rinsing them under cold water. Soak in cold water for about 30 minutes, then drain.
- Place the cleaned peanuts in the crockpot and add salt. Cover the peanuts with water, maintaining about an inch of space at the top.

- Halfway through the cooking process, taste a peanut. If it requires more salt, add to taste and stir well.
- Monitor the water level; if it shrinks below the peanuts, replenish with more water to keep them fully submerged.
- Once cooked to preference, drain the peanuts and enjoy them warm, or store for later snacking.
