No sledgehammer required here as this attractive Nutcracker really looks the part positioned by a roaring log fire in the depths of winter, effortlessly cracking all sizes of delicious home grown edible nuts or those gathered on a countryside forage, by way of the traditional screw thread press.
The 1.5 kg steel cast iron-effect body of the Nutcracker is a good indication of the performance you can expect and the 5cm wide cracking bowl is large enough to hold most edible nuts. A few turns with the 11.5cm wide handle will render your nuts fit for consumption and this traditional cracker will look good at rest as well.
Measures 13cm in diameter, stands 18.5cm in height with the thread fully exposed, giving 3cm of clearance onto the cracking plate.

- Cast-iron effect finish
- Screw thread mechanism gives great cracking strength
- Measures 13cm in diameter and stands 18.5cm in height with the thread fully exposed
- 5cm diameter cracking plate
- Maximum 3cm clearance between press and plate
- Great gift idea, especially for Christmas
- Ideal present for walkers and lovers of countryside
Product Reviews
The nutcracker looks good but is not strong enough to deal with our home-grown walnuts. The lower screw plate easily comes loose and does not hold the nuts in place. If this loose plate was replaced by a built-in section at the base it would make it stronger, simpler to use, easier to clean and less prone to problems. The nutcracker may, of course, be fine for thin shelled commercially bought nuts.
