salted peanuts that are too salty, ideas please!

Options
I bought some salted peanuts the other day, and they're too salty. Is there anything i can do to them to lessen the saltyness?:confused:
or any recipes i could use them in where the saltyness wouldn't be a problem?

    soak them for a while and then dry them out?

    No idea if it will work mind you.

    Just as a matter of interest, my friend's husband puts salt ON his salted peanuts. ( blood pressure alert) :eek:

    I once met a man who put salt in his lager.
    Said he liked salt in everything
  • rinse them under the tap :)

    Won't rinsing make them soggy. How about a good shake in a collander or something?

    thanks for the suggestions. i think soaking them will make them soggy, but might risk a few and see how it goes, will also try the shaking purpleivy.

    an idea what i've just had! layout a drying up cloth/towel. put them in a layer on one half, fold over and rub gently - surely some of the salt will get caught in the loops/material of the cloth?
  • get someone else to suck on them and eat em after lmao thats wot i do for my dd if she wants nuts and there salty cos she dont like the salty ones lmao

    THis reminds me of that joke about the coach driver with a load of OAPs and a large bag of nuts. Can't remember details, but I'm sure you can work it out!!!
