Not soggy?
I'm not really a boiled peanut fan, but the time I really enjoyed them somebody made them with the very large size peanuts, seemed less salt than most and the still had a fairly solid consistency. Probably nothing like a connoisseur would consider a perfect boiled peanut, but I thought they were good.
If you get them fresh and hot they are really good.
Not soggy at all and all were cooked exactly the same, unlike the normal all day simmer.

Yeah, best served hot. I don't know if you can get fresh green peanuts where you are. That's another requirement. They are the biggest ag crop here.
There's always Amazon, including this aberation, which I'm guessing would be sacrilege for the authentic boiler.

I've seen the re-heat bags and some are as good as most. The green peanut still has all of its moisture and spoils easily and fairly fast.
The details say "raw dried" peanuts. Raw have been dried and are ready for eating raw or roasting.

"Features & details
Self-contained boiled peanut kit
High quality raw, dried valencia peanuts
Prepare in slow cooker, instant pot, or stovetop
Each bag yields ~3.5 lbs of boiled peanuts
Just add water"

I've seen these and most are pretty good and are fully cooked.

Every grits bag I've stopped to read and the few recipes I've read says to put the grits in boiling water. So I pour the grits in boiling water and immediately stir like crazy to prevent clumping.
A few months ago I accidentally poured my grits into cold water. So much easier. A slight stir and no lumps.

"An Alabama chef has won national honors at the 2023 Great American Seafood Cook-Off.

Chef Brody Olive of Orange Beach was crowned King of American Seafood at the conclusion of the Cook-Off, held Saturday in New Orleans."

"Olive won with a presentation of gaff-top catfish with flash-fried mole crabs, gulf shrimp horseradish cream, pickled purslane and smoked paprika coral tuile."

1st I've heard that saltwater catfish are edible. We were always told that they weren't, so we threw them back or cut them up for bait.

Live and learn. I hear that there is a guy who won't eat the groundhog eating his garden.
