Shelling is a snap

Every year I get 25 to 50 pounds of pecans from my nephew who has a small orchard. I share with friends and family, but I still haven't been able to crack as many pecans with a nutcracker. After doing a little research I bought this nutcracker and prepared pecans for cracking as follows. I bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add 1 to 2 liters of pecans and let them simmer for 10 minutes. Then I drain the pecans and quickly pat them dry with a towel to make sure they're still damp. Then I turn them into a large pot that is at least 3 inches high (a broiler works well). I also put a cracker in the pan and start cracking the pecans. It's important to break open all of the pecans before you begin removing the pecans from the shell (see first image). This is because the shell is much easier to crack when it's wet and pliable. It's also easy to develop a rhythm that speeds up the process. Once I've cracked all the pecans in the pan, I remove the pulp from them. As you can see from the second picture I'm pretty good at getting whole halves. Even with this method, the mess is well preserved and you can watch TV and see a shell with a frying pan on your lap.
