 CS> Grin, it's a fallacy that they have to be 'raw' for making boiled.
 CS> Fact is most of the time the ones I get are pre-roasted

Then I shall make a batch real soon, as soon as I buy some peanuts
in the shell. I think I'll do the first batch Southern style and
leave the Chinese version for later. I don't have a pressure cooker
so this next method is out...

  One of my sister's field hands does it this way (Alabama style)
  
  This recipe uses fresh field peanuts, raw in the shell, about 2 days
  after the peanut picker has dug them out of the ground. In a 32 quart
  pressure cooker, fill half way with raw peanuts [in the shell]. Add
  1/4 cup Old Bay type seasoning, 1/4 cup crushed red pepper, then cover
  with salted water [about 1/2 cup salt/gal].  Put the lid on, making
  sure that the gasket is sound and the vent clear.
  
  Heat on a jet burner (a High BTU propane stove) heat rapidly to boil
  and when the steams is coming out strong through the vent hole, put
  the jiggler on 10 pounds, back off on the fire and cook 12-15 minutes
  at pressure.
  
  Turn off the heat and set the whole thing in a tub of cold water.
  When the pressure drops, strain out the peanuts and let cool a bit
  and eat.
  
  They are good hot (hard to peel), pretty good cold - probably should
  be made a little less salted for health reasons.  They are not good
  keepers! They will get slimey in 2 days out the frig and within a
  week in the frig.
  
  He makes them up and sell them at the curb side on the weekends - 5
  or 6 kettles full each day a plastic sandwich bag full at a time for
  $1.00 each. Business is good enough that he is adding a second cooker
  and burner next year. He sells out nearly every day of his full
  production.
