Oxo Good Grips Slim Nut/Seafood Cracker
Crab legs and walnuts don't stand a chance when this solid zinc cracker puts on the squeeze. While a nice weighty feel and sleek, polished design make this cracker a pleasure to use, the best feature is the soft rubber grip on each side that absorbs pressure during squeezing. The nutcracker measures 6-1/4 inches long and is dishwasher-safe. --Ann Bieri

Not your grandfather's nutcracker!
I'm from an Italian family, and we always had bowls of nuts that my grandfather shelled for us kids after holiday dinners. I never realized just what a difficult job cracking those nuts was until my husband and I recently attempted it ourselves--unfortunately using the same flimsy type of metal nutcracker that my grandfather used to use. The very next day, I went out and purchased this Oxo Good Grips Slim Nut/Seafood Cracker. I was a little hesitant, as it seemed a bit pricey, but I brought it home, telling my husband that it was an early Christmas gift for him. Well, he was the first to use it, trying it on a Brazil nut--you know, the ones in the mixed nut bag with the thickest, hardest-to-crack shells. We were both taken aback when, after he had barely exerted much pressure at all with the new Oxo Nut Cracker, the nut easily came apart in his hands! We found this product worked just as well on larger nuts, like walnuts, as did on smaller nuts, such as almonds and hazelnuts. The weighty feel and larger size make the Cracker easier to hold, and the black grips decrease the risk of slippage. We haven't yet tried the Cracker for seafood, but I am confident that the Oxo would perform just as well as a Seafood Cracker as it does with nuts. Highly recommended!
Oxyo Nut Cracker
This was ordered and delivered promptly. For smaller nuts such as Pecans or Almonds, it's a great size and works well. This line of gadgets tends to have better functionality with their gripping ability. Anyone who has used one of the old style nut crackers knows what a hassle it can be to not be able to grip properly. This product makes it EZ to work.
Great gadget!
The Oxo Good Grips Slim Nut/Seafood Cracker is solid and useful. Glad I gave it a chance to make a big difference in the kitchen!
