I put the who horse chestnut on the grill and cook till it opens. Then take the two (or as many as there are) out of the shell and place the nuts back on the grill cooking them till there roasted completely black. Then i put then in a small metal bowl and crush them with a rock till the texture looks like coffee. Smells GREAT! I did try to make coffee with it but after taking a sip my wife told me i was crazy so i didn't drink the rest.....I guess i will never know if it's good for me! :0(
You can fry chestnuts, but it is more popular to roast them. And of course its because they taste better when you do!But it is way healthier if you roast them.
Chestnuts and Horse Chestnuts are not the same thing. Chestnuts are edible by humans. Horse Chestnuts (Buckeyes) are not edible and are generally considered poisonous --- even to horses!
put the roaster in the microwave
Conkers (Horse Chestnuts) are inedible, possibly toxic to everyone.

Squirrels are known to eat horse chestnuts, also known as conkers. They are attracted to the nuts within the spiky outer shell, which they will feed on if no other food sources are readily available.
"Marrons" are horse chestnuts / conkers. Chestnuts can also be called "marrons" when prepared and sold. ("marrons glacés" are chestnuts)
Chestnuts roast on an open fire in many Christmas themed scenes.
