How to use

Place the nut between the nutcracker’s jaws and apply steady pressure on the handles until the shell cracks. Adjust hand position for control to avoid crushing the kernel. After use, separate the wooden parts from stainless steel surfaces if recommended by the manufacturer’s care instructions and wipe both materials with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly to preserve the wood and prevent watermarks on the metal.

Recommendations

To maintain appearance and function, avoid soaking the wooden components; clean stainless steel with mild detergent and dry both materials after cleaning. Inspect the nutcracker periodically for loosened fittings and tighten if necessary.
