• Sort through the peanuts to clean the soil and debris. Place them in colander and rinse and drain well.
• Place into the Instant Pot. Add salt. Add enough water to cover the peanuts and stir. Peanuts will float at the top, so you will need to place a weight on top of them to keep them submerged. I use a steamer basket or trivet.
• Lock the lid in place and vent sealed. Use MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK . Choose 40 minutes high pressure.
• When IP is done cooking , allow the pressure to completely release naturally.
• Open the lid and stir well. Let them cool off some. Pour the peanuts and water into a colander in your kitchen sink and let the water drain.
• Shell the peanuts and enjoy your yummy creation.

STOVETOP METHOD :

• Sort through the peanuts to clean the soil and debris. Rinse peanuts well and place into the heavy bottom dutch oven. Put it on the stove on medium high heat.
• Add salt and lemon juice to the pot. Add enough water to cover the peanuts and stir. Put a heavy stainless steel plate or some weight over the peanuts so they don't float on top.
• Let the water come to boil. Cover the pot and let it cook for at least 3 hours on medium low heat. Check often to make sure there is enough water in the pot. Add water when necessary. 
• Remove from the heat when they are tender to your preference. Let them rest covered for 30 minutes. Drain the water in colander. Serve and enjoy.
