Not the best for pecans

I bought this nutcracker for my husband. He's been using Nutcracker with Nuts and Duke Nuts for a few years now and it leaves a pile of shells. Initially, he liked Drosselmeyer's Nutcracker because it includes the shell and eliminates the need for washing. However, after using it for two weeks, he returned to Duke.

He should deserve a 5 but I only gave him a 3.

I have this nutcracker and I really like it so I decided to buy it for my daughter. I ordered it the Thursday before Christmas. With Prime, it got delivered on the Thursday after Christmas.

Disappointment spread. I got up and the feather fell to the ground. Oh good. According to the description there are only 3.

It's surprisingly durable, fits perfectly in your hand and is easy to squeeze. I shared a whole bucket of hazelnuts over two nights while watching TV. It's so fast - you need a helper. One person splits and…

That's it!: Kitchen Gadgets & Gadgets

If you read my recent review of Duke's Easy Pecan and Nut Cracker, you know I've still been on the hunt for the perfect nutcracker. And if you haven't read it, you're missing out. If that doesn't get me a Revain Pulitzer, then this rating will certainly help me. You get less than you pay for, I'm always wary of expensive items. And let's face it, that's a lot of money for a damn nutcracker. But after trying and reading other crackers I settled on this one. The reviews were mostly good and it…
