User questions & answers

Question:	What are the natural flavors
Answer:	Thanks for reaching out. The Pepper Jack Cheese Nut-Thins have a shelf life of about 12 months, so once they are packaged they are given an expiration date based off that. Hope this helps!
Question:	How long between the packaging date and expiration date on these? And please do not answer “whatever it says on the box
Answer:	I am responding to the Almond Nut-Thins, hint of sea salt. There is no ingredient listed showing corn. They are made from rice flour and almonds, some potato starch. I am allergic to corn and so many GF things use corn. I do not know about the other products in this line, but some do have different coatings. This was has no coating, which is safer for me. These are perfect. The other nut thins are too high in sodium for me. Look for the ones that say hint of Sea Salt on the front, for a low sodium choice.
Question:	Is this corn free
Answer:	It's 24 (ish) grams of carbs per serving, but they are calling a serving 17 crackers. I doubt I would eat that many in a week let alone at one time. So less than 1.5 grams of carbs per actual cracker is fine for keto, I think.
Question:	Why does this show up as a keto cracker when it has a lot of carbs
Answer:	Quantity is anywhere between 1 and 5, depending on how quickly the worker in China was pushed to packed these. If you're lucky and get 5 note that the price is now only a little over 6 US dollars... yep, that "cheap"! But it's almost Christmas and you need one, right? And you also want to get it online because it's cool to do so nowadays. Here're a few good advises for you. Do yourself a favor and: 1. Go to a cheap dollar store or walmart or something and get a string of 100 lights, pull the bulbs from that string and use them as replacement. Price per bulb should be around 10 cents or less. No waiting for the mail, no overpaying and you'll have a lot more spares for next year too. Besides that, you helped a local store that employs your neighbors, you get to feel good that you were not totally ripped off and you also get to go outside and see the snow. OR: 2. Buy these things online in March or September and the price will (maybe) be fair.

User questions & answers

Question:	How long are these
Answer:	I assume almond flavoring along with the milk based butter. The term 'natural' in anything doesn't really mean much. For me they are a low FODMAP food treat and wheat/gluten free. If you have other sensitivities perhaps go to their product site?

User questions & answers

Question:	What is thedifference between the regular model and the one that says pecan cracker? Will regular work for pecans
Answer:	From what I can see, they all can be used to crack nuts. The Hiware Heavy Duty Nut Cracker can crack even larger nuts like walnuts at the top. If your pecans are small to very small, I would use the portion at the top of the handle but outside of the cone portion. The rounded cone portion is relatively large so it can be used to crack larger pecans and other nuts. I was able to use it to crack walnut using both parts.
Question:	Can this be used for hickory nuts? If so, does it work well
Answer:	It worked great for me
Question:	Hiware is this product is dishwasher safe
Answer:	We wash it by hand, so I can not answer your question.
Question:	What is the diameter when open? We have some large walnuts that don't fit in the one we have
Answer:	one and one half inches. It has done well cracking all English walnuts. The very largest few barely fit in. It is not strong enough to crack black walnuts or hickory nuts.

Nut Cracker with Picks

Eat your nuts right out of the shell with the nut cracker from Chef Craft. Soon you'll be roasting chestnuts on an open fire or just having a cracking good time.

Our Products: Employee Tested, Customer Approved

All of our products have been extensively tested in our kitchens to ensure that we are bringing our customers the best value possible. We have run our turners through the dishwasher hundreds of times before marking them dishwasher safe, and have cooked with our silicone utensils for years to verify their durability. Each detail is scrutinized and revamped by both our employees (and their families), so we are confident that we bring you the best possible products.

Our Story

Chef Craft was founded in 1985 by Peter Ernster. It was passed down the family through the generations. We have kept the same vision as the beginning: bringing our customers the best value based products that we can. Today, it means shifting towards sourcing products made with more sustainable materials like bamboo and wheat straw.

• UPGRADED VERSION, ENHANCED STURDINESS: The new cracker is about 1.5 times heavier than the previous and others - up to 4.5 oz - making it sturdier and more durable. Even for some larger, harder seafood like the Boston Lobster and King Crab, it would be easy and safe to break and open them without any difficulty and cracking.
• ESSENTIAL TOOLS FOR SEAFOOD: These tools will replace your hands to deal with crab, lobster, scallop, oysters and more. Instead of the laborious and messy disassembling of the lobster and crab manually, you don't have to worry about the hard shell or not being able to get the whole meat out, using seafood tools allows you to enjoy seafood elegantly and simply.
• MADE OF DIE-CAST ZINC ALLOY AND STAINLESS STEEL: Our crackers are constructed of die-cast zinc alloy which has better hardness and is especially suitable for handling these hard-shelled foods. The stainless steel picks are also very strong and durable. They are all anti-corrosion and anti-rust, and will serve for a long time.
• DESIGN FOR DIFFERENT SEAFOOD PARTS: The different serrated parts of the cracker are specially designed for different sizes and shapes of seafood. The slender crab legs can be processed in the smaller serrated part, and the larger claws can be placed on the large jagged part. The picks can get the meat from the crab legs or lobster tail easier and faster.
• DISHWASHER SAFE: Our crackers and picks are totally dishwasher safe, So don’t worry about cleaning.

• USES ON VARIOUS NUTS: Heavy duty nut cracker can easily crack almost all kinds of nuts including pecan, walnut, hazelnuts, almonds, English walnut, Brazil nuts, etc. But Not suitable for black walnuts and macadamia. The adjustable thread cone fits the length of the nut, while the grooves trap the nut and prevent it from flying away.
• NICKEL PLANTED ALL STEEL CONSTRUCTION: Precision machined cracker is more durable and wear-resistant, the appearance of metal coupled with wooden base looks with modern technology, and the firm handle will not bend due to strong force, so you can use it safely. The included 4 forks can help you take out the nuts stuck in the shell.
• MOUNTED ON THE WOODEN BASE: The solid hardwood base can not only keep the nut cracker stable when in use, but also successfully eliminate the damage caused by the metal construction on the table while it’s as thick as a chopping board. The wooden handle also reduces pain and pressure to the hands.
• EASY TO USE: Designed with the principle of leverage, just simply push the handle down, the crack of the nut can be expanded quickly to make it break but not damage the nut, which is effective but labor-saving.
• A GREAT GIFT: It is not only a daily tool used by the family, but also a time-saving and labor-saving tool for bakeries, restaurants, candy stores and others. Meanwhile, it also can be a good gift to family and friends as a Christmas or Thanksgiving gift.

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

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the material is it made from? Is it aluminum or stainless steel? Thks
Answer:	I am not sure of the material, but it is very sturdy. I do not use mine very often because it is to big and tends to crush my nuts.
Question:	I just got this item, but the screw that connects the two sides is not fully tightened (flimsy)... Is that by design or should I be returning this
Answer:	Mine is tight..you must have gotten a defect. I would return!
Question:	Would this crack a hazelnut
Answer:	Just tested it to be sure- 5 in a row and no problem. I hold my hand around it so the shell doesn't go flying but it has no problem cracking the shell.
Question:	Will this work for Pistachios which are pretty small
Answer:	Yes it will. I eat Pistachios often (roasted) and sometimes one of the shells are not popped open from the roasting and have to be cracked. This is really designed for bigger nuts such as walnuts, Brazilian nuts, pecans, and seafood but works fine on Pistachios.
