I would highly recommend washing the peanuts and soaking them for at least hours or more if you have the time I would change the water as frequently as I had time to do it because raw peanuts are very dirty the longer you soak them the more dirt you wont have to ingest Each time you empty the water you will be amazed at how much dirt you soaked out of the shells also use your arms to stir the peanuts in the water like an agitator in your washer again you are getting the dirt out of the shells Once you soak your peanuts for the hours your cooking time will be much less I can usually cook a whole crock pot I run pots at the same time when i do peanuts full of peanuts on high in about hours or a bit more The soaking really helps…Read More Also I never use more than a half cup of salt for a large crock pot Taste the water if it is really TOO salty empty some out and replace with fresh water
