You can't just shell and eat cashew nuts like other nuts. Their shell is full of a horrible, caustic liquid that will burn holes into you! The challenge is to separate the nut from the shell without getting the stuff on your skin, or worse, into your eyes. One method is to freeze the shells, and then separate the shell from the nut before it thaws. You still need gloves and long clothes and I'd also use safety glasses, just in case. The nuts can be eaten raw, but please, please make sure they are not contaminated with any of that liquid! The roasting method requires oil, and a clear mask and long gloves and sleeves and pants and an apron... Heat the oil to 210°C and then drop the nuts into it for two minutes. No longer or they will become too brittle. Be careful when putting the nuts in because they will squirt that liquid at you as they hiss and jump in the oil... When they are ready cool them in a bucket of water, get them out of the shell, and dry them. Yum. (Or so I'm told. I have to admit that I haven't tried that method yet...) Another roasting method is to heat the nuts for a minute in an open pan with holes (so the caustic liquid can drain away). I think you are supposed to do that over an open fire. Don't breathe in the fumes, and if the nuts catch fire douse them with water... After the roasting you have to put the nuts into sawdust or something absorbent to remove the last of the caustic liquid.
