What is the best nut cracker???
I'm looking for a GOOD nutcracker. I saw an ad for one that consisted of two
circles. The one was about 6" from the other and there were four rods going through one and then through the other. It looked like a cage that would hold an hour glass. You would put the nut inside this contraption and then turn each circle in opposite directions. This would cause the rods to contract and crack the nut. It was almost guaranteed to remove the meat in one piece. Does anyone know what this device is, or can you reccomend a good nutcracker??? |
Along these lines, how are nuts cracked commercially? In particular, how are
macadamia nuts cracked? When I had some macadamia nuts to cracked, I used vise-grip pliers. They were fine for a small had operation. Because the nuts are not of uniform size, I had to to a lot of adjusting. That is just not feasible even for $20 a pound nuts. Bill |

We have used a Reeds Rocket nutcracker for 30 years or more. It is
great for pecans, walnuts, Brazil or hazelnuts. We live where they were invented and haven't found anything better. When we have many pounds of pecans we take them to a commercial "nutcracker" and pay a small amount a pound to have them cracked mechanically. For small amounts we drag out the Reed's Rocket. I think they still make them,, Google it and see>>> |
