Q: How do I use this nutcracker?
Fit the nut into the tapered cup, then squeeze the handles together. The spring-loaded aluminum jaws crack the shell while the wooden grips keep the nut intact.
EV551 - Nutcracker
This nutcracker doesn’t just look different, it works better than others we’ve tried. Its 4" long beech grips let you exert controlled pressure to crack shells, leaving the meat of the nut – and your fingers – intact.
Its spring-loaded aluminum jaws form a cup with a tapered shape that readily accepts nuts of various sizes (hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds and more); simply upend the cup and tap gently to release the contents. The metal jaws are finished with a durable epoxy powder coating applied using an electrostatic process for a smooth, long-lasting surface.
A well-made device that’s easy to master. Made in Spain.
