How do you crack a hazelnut or almond with a nutcracker?

What you need to get started

• An almond
• A Tnut propulsion nutcracker

Step 1: Find a good nutcracker

You can use different types of nutcrackers, such as pliers, screw-on nutcrackers, but here we will talk about the Tnut propulsion nutcracker.

If you don’t have a nutcracker designed for almonds, you can also use a hammer or a mallet. If you have a wooden mallet, this is ideal. Wood produces a precise and controlled cracking sound, unlike other materials. You can also use a hammer.

Step 2: Prepare your almonds

Before you crack an almond with a nutcracker, you need to prepare your almonds. Make sure your almonds are dry. If they are too wet, the nutcracker will slip and your almonds will not break.

You need to remove the skin from the almond. Another way to do this is to put your almonds in the microwave for a few seconds. The almonds will become hot, and the skin will come off easily.

Step 3: Crack an almond with your nutcracker.

The principle of the propulsion nutcracker is simple:

• You insert the almond into the latex membrane
• You pull this membrane
• You release the membrane
• The almond will crash into the bottom of the nutcracker
• The shell breaks
• You taste your almond

Using a nutcracker, a hammer or a mallet, crush the almond with a sharp and powerful blow. Make sure you hold the nutcracker firmly and keep your wrist straight.

When hitting the kernel with the hammer or mallet, make sure you keep your wrist straight, as this will keep the nutcracker steady while you crack the kernel.
