First off, put them in a bucket of water. If any float, toss them. Then, you need to remove the outer shell. The ones from a white oak can be eaten just like they are. Some from the white oak family can be prepared w/out doing anything more to them. For the rest, you need to boil them in several changes of water until the water stays clear. Or, you can put them in a waterfall or some other source of rapidly running water. Or you could even bury them! Once the tannins are all leached out, you can dry them and just eat them.
