Aren't pinons, pinenuts? I have never known them to explode. I found
that toasting them in the oven gives an even browning. A pan can
produce burn marks. I have seen other people brown them on top of the
stove in a little oil - basically you are frying them, but you get an
even browning all over and you can always drain them after.
I've had pinenuts freshing toasted from the tree. We thrown a pine
cone on the fire and it opened up like a flower - inside were lovely
fresh pinenuts.
Ohh, glorious food.


You have to keep them moving in the skillet and no burn marks. I'll have to
try the oil idea next time.
