How do you remove the skin from hazelnuts?

 We thought we answered this question years ago. Apparently we did not. There is a hard, unsatisfactory way to skin hazelnuts, and then there is a new, scientific way to skin them. You might not call either of them easy, but if you've ever tried the hard, unsatisfactory method, you will love the new one. Either method also produces toasted hazelnuts, which are a lovely thing. continued...
