Date: April 23, 2009 07:02AM Ok my father in law just gave me about 50lbs of in the shell walnuts , they were dried in the barn and taste just great!
so how the heck do i process 50lbs of walnuts ..is there a faster way then crack and pick? i tried smashing some in a ziploc and then dumping it all in water and it failed the float test .. nuts and shell both float so that is out  ...Jodi, the banana eating buddhist  Re: Shelling English Walnuts?

I used to have 2 English Walnuts in every Green Smoothie. Get a good Nutcracker, and, with practice, you'll get quite good....WY Re: Shelling English Walnuts?

That's a good Zen lesson. I'll use that thought when I think about my juicers not being able to juice Apples properly....WY Re: Shelling English Walnuts?

Date: April 25, 2009 03:39AM With a little practice, it's not tough to crack dry English walnuts in your hand...but holding one against the hollow side of another in a single hand, and using the second hand to clamp around the first and crush them into each other. Try it!

When I was a boy, my Father taught me to crack English Walnuts this way. Last year I spent over $40 for a Rosle stainless steel nutcracker, but rarely eat nuts now....WY [www.thefind.com] Re: Shelling English Walnuts?

Date: April 27, 2009 01:29PM I like crack and pick ... I eat way fewer nuts that way. Kind of self limiting with all the work involved. Re: Shelling English Walnuts?

Date: April 30, 2009 12:38PM ive found sticking the point of a sharp knive into the wider end and twisting works better than a nutcracker, and with less broken nuts. theres a soft spot there, where the two shell-halves meet. ive tried the crushing them together and its probably good exercise but my hands got tired....also more broken nuts than with the knife...
