Of course the payoff is > great because you'll get freshly boiled, still hot and dripping wet > boiled peanuts. :-) Sounds about right...Bought a bag from the side of the road just last weekend outside Savannah. The "clerk" scooped the boiled peanuts out of the tub into a ziploc-type bag and did a complicated maneuver of twirling and draining the water out of it until it was perfectly full of peanuts and not a smidge of empty space in the bag. The procedure was almost hypnotic and he was very serious about giving me my money's worth! Michelle in Atlanta
