This is how I crack walnuts without making a mess. This trick is genius.

You’ll save time on cleaning and avoid unnecessary noise, as the strip will muffle the sounds. If you feel like cracking nuts late at night, you won’t have an unpleasant confrontation with the neighbor who doesn’t want to hear you banging on the wall.

HOW TO REMOVE THE SHELLS FROM THE WALNUTS WITHOUT MAKING A MESS? When you squeeze the shells with the nutcracker, they start to break and literally shoot all over the kitchen. Sometimes they even aim towards the face, which could prove tragic if a piece gets into the eye. If you don’t want to do a lot of cleaning and don’t have an ejection tool, try this trick with a kitchen towel.

It works similarly to the previous one: simply pour a few nuts onto the cloth and hit them with a hammer so that all the shells stay in place. Don’t pour too many nuts at once, as the cloth won’t hold the shells and everything will fall out. This method is simple and won’t take you much time.”
