🥜 304 Stainless Steel Chestnut Clip Nutcracker Tool - Portable Chestnut Cutter, Pistachio & Macadamia Nut Opener, Walnut Knife - Metal Plier Multifunction Nut Opener for Improved SEO Review

Never thought that baking chestnuts could be so easy! I can slice 2 pounds of chestnut skin while waiting for the fryer to preheat.

This tool is just a fairy tale! Chestnuts cook even better because they cut through the shell. Soak chestnuts in water for 1/2 hour and return. Buy the instrument you like.

So it works fine but it comes with a small plastic scoop. This sight pulls a knurled nut out of a knurled edge if it gets stuck there. That's a good idea, but why not make a small hole in the base of the handle so you can attach a small plastic spoon to the string so it doesn't get lost. One drill hole, one thread and you're done.

I got tired of slicing chestnuts with a butcher knife so I ordered this tool. That works fine. However, I found it easier to remove the sliced chestnuts from the cutter with my fingers than with the small plastic tool that comes with the tool. The only small issue I had was that I used chestnuts from my trees and found that they weren't dense enough to fully cut small ones, but cut them deep enough that they usually split on their own when roasted.
