Mixed nuts

Callistemon21

I have a nutcracker which can deal with almonds and other tough nuts!

It looks rather similar to this one:

We have one like that dd brought it from Berlin. It seems to work with most nuts though not tried it on DH yet Sago, I might be threatening by the end of the festive season.
I once saw a student boyfriend off by telling fibs and saying my father was a farmer and I had an industrial pair.

Wow Callistemon21 - that's a nutcracker that looks like it can really do the business. Very impressive - where did you get it from please?

If you're still on here Margs, then I think I bought mine which is very similar to that in TKMaxx years ago but that picture was from Amazon, other retailers are available.

I buy shelled nuts, makes life easy.I love them all and eat handfuls of Brazils if not physically stopped.

Mixed nuts as a wedding present! 🤣🤣🤣

Ha ha Sue

We bought a second one for my grandson in the end. It's really such a lovely shape and so sturdy and well made and he loves it.
There are cheap copies on the market though which are apparently not up to much.

I'm going to buy another as a wedding gift for a friend of my daughter's who I like but isn't exactly "close". She thinks it's a funny gift - but obviously I'll buy a bag of mixed nuts too! 🤣

Or NotSpaghetti even!

That looks like a murder weapon from an Agatha Christie novel, Spaghetti!

Here it is.

I like the Drosselmeyer one.
My 7 year old grandson can use it.

I love all of those things. Nuts (cracking the shells slowed down my eating!), dates, Advocaat. I also like egg nog. Mmmm.

Oh those damn boxes of dates! Yes, it must have been quite some time since they came off the tree.

And another forgettable Xmas tradition (in our house) was a bottle of Advocaat. Dreadfull stuff we only encountered at yuletide - and that was far too much.

Not had nuts in shells for as long as I can recall. My Dad used his excellent teeth on many, but I bet he never tried almonds. I recall more, those oval packets of dates which were all dried out.

I think that would also put my husband in his place if necessary!

Mole grips?
They are my "go-to" tool for a lot of jobs that I should never have started, namely because I don't know what I'm doing

Thank you. That's the nutcracker we have but we can't squeeze hard enough for the almonds.

I’ve a nutcracker similar to the one in Callistemon’s photo. It’s excellent, never fails.

They are so smoothly oval that it is difficult to get enough purchase on them to crack through the shell. Putting them sideways (edgeways on) into the nutcrackers might help.
