Nutcracker for walnuts & other nuts | Kalsten

The walnut gives way – but the shells fly all over the kitchen.

Anyone who cracks nuts knows this: The first press is wrong, the shell splinters uncontrollably, and half ends up on the floor. With the nutcracker made of high-quality zinc alloy, the shell stays in hand thanks to the thoughtful interior structure – a targeted press through the lever mechanism is enough, and the nut opens cleanly. The result: no shards, no strenuous effort, no long hassle – just freshly cracked walnuts, pecans, or macadamia nuts in seconds.

Advantages

• No more shell fragments on the table: Thanks to the stable interior structure and the controlled lever mechanism, the shell stays together – the tedious picking up of scattered shell pieces is completely eliminated.
• Less time and effort when cracking nuts: The lever does the work – even harder shells like walnuts or macadamias open with a single press, without exertion or repetition.
• No bending, no breaking, no worries about durability: The zinc alloy makes the tool corrosion-resistant and dimensionally stable – you take it out, use it, and put it away without needing to check or maintain it.

Specifications

• Material: Zinc alloy
• Variants: Small (without lid) / Large (with lid)
• Weight: 240 g (Small) / 340 g (Large)
• Scope of delivery: 1 × nutcracker made of zinc alloy

Application

1. Inserting: Place nut in the opening of the nutcracker – the interior structure holds it securely in position.
2. Pressing: Slowly and evenly squeeze the lever until the shell gives way – no jerky force required.
3. Removing: Release the nut from the shell and use it directly – with the lid model, the shell remains fully encased.

Pro tip: For especially hard walnuts, soak briefly in lukewarm water – the shell gives way more evenly on the first press and the nut remains intact.
