    • Almost perfect
Style Name: Red
Great design. Does what it says it will do, but takes a few minutes practice. If you just drop a nut in and squeeze, it often crushes a nut instead of cracking it. Nuts, as you probably know, crack better along the seam, but it's not easy to align a nut along it's seam in this cracker like it is in a regular style nut cracker. For smaller nuts, like a filbert/hazelnut, it will drop straight to the bottom. For these nuts, go easy and stop at the first cracking sound, otherwise you'll crush it. Remove it, then pry or pick it apart in order to get big nut pieces. Pecans can be aligned on the seam of the levering mechanism a little easier, but it takes a bit of work. Again, go easy. Then remove the nut and put it in the other way. Same thing with pecans -- pecans being a little bigger, go much better. Walnuts even more so. Brazil nuts being in short supply, I only had 3 to practice on and didn't come up with a great way to do those yet. Anyway, is it worth $35? Not to me. To me it's probably worth $20. $35 seems a bit much given that it's not perfect. But it is MESS-FREE as advertised as long as you have a bowl handy for a discard pile. And it squeezes easy enough. I was going to buy a bunch of these as Christmas gifts, but not at $35. If neatness is a huge priority for you instead of getting a full/big nut piece, then it may be worth $35 to you. If I sound a little disappointed, I am, a little. ... show more

    • Best nutcracker
Style Name: Black
I use this to crack apricot pits ez pz. If it can break one of those it should be able to break any other hard nut. The first try the handle popped off, but I realized it's because I put the pit way too far down the funnel. My bad, it's fine I fixed it. If the handle pops off it's not broken and the end of the world, don't be a whiner like people in previous reviews. Pop it gently back into place, don't force it, if you look at the construction you can figure out how to pop it back on, it's not rocket science. ... show more

    • Great nutcracker!
Style Name: Black
Simple, easy design. Just got it a minute ago and it works beautifully. I can't ever remember being excited to get a new nutcracker but I'm happy I got this one. And you can use it to exercise your wrists! Ha!

    • Nutcracker Sweet!
Style Name: Red
The Drosselmeyer nutcracker is ingenious, and rather fun to use. However, it takes a little bit of practice to get the wonderfully whole nuts that it can produce. The double lever action exerts much more force than a conventional V-shape cracker, so it's significantly easier to crack things like hard brazil nuts. Unlike the V-shape cracker, the amount of movement is naturally constrained by the unit's design, so while the movement is very forceful, it's also small and controlled. Consequently, nuts are hardly ever destroyed; as they so often are with regular V-shape crackers. Using the cracker takes some concentration. This is because different kinds of nuts do better in one orientation than another. To give a sense of this, here are some examples. Hazel nuts are the simplest, because they need no special orientation and so come out perfect virtually every time. It's also pretty easy to get a perfect almond every time, although large almonds are the easiest if they orientated so the inner lever presses on the seam. This means holding the almond between thumb and forefinger, and holding it in place and squeezing until it's firmly held by the inner lever. Regular V-shaped crackers are particularly destructive of pecans, because of the pecans' relatively thin shells. Although not obvious to see, pecans actually do have a seam. (It's easiest to see if you look at the pointy end of the nut.) Unlike cracking an almond, a pecan is turned a quarter of a turn so that the seam is across the unit and not against the inner lever. With Brazil nuts, you want the short flat side of the nut against the lever, and after the first gentle squeeze has made some progress, be prepared to pop out the Brazil nut and turn it the other way around, and squeeze again. There's a brief YouTube video that shows a little of the technique, and how to disassemble the unit for cleaning. The unit has been criticized for losing it's paint finish on the inside, but it's hardly noticeable. In fact, the unit actually grips nuts a bit better without the paint. (Drosselmeyer might want to think about whether there needs to be paint on the inside at all?) It's worth remembering that quite a lot of the success rate will depend upon the nuts themselves. Some will have kernels that are stuck to their shells, and are difficult. Others will be a looser fit, and are easy. It's recommended to keep nuts in the freezer so that they are easier to crack (and stay fresher). Nuts don't last that long around here ... but it sounds like a good tip! ... show more

    • Sturdy and does what it says
Style Name: Black
I find it has some difficulty with smaller nuts but it will crack the shells so you can pry them open. It feels very sturdy and I expect it should last a long time. Keeping everything inside and surrounded does a FANTASTIC job of keeping everything neat and prevents shells from shooting across the room. ... show more
