I cant open my pistachio

Jul 21, 2006 13 Replies

These damn foreign nuts have a 10% failure rate. If I want to eat them, i need to head out to the shed to crack them open in the vice.


Some pistachios that have just a hairline crack can be opened by prying it with a peace of shell from another pistachio.

Soak them in water and toss them in the microwave. Let steam do the work for you.

I guess I just use my teeth..... I have good dental!

The macademias I've had were always pre-peeled.

Ever do a Brazil nut?

Cheers! Rich

Thats easy. In Queensland (home of the macadamia) we always make macadamia nut crackers in high school in metal shop classes. We dont make pistachio nut crackers however.

Its funny, people love macadamias, we hate them. When you mow your grass those nuts become weapons of mass destruction.

You know, I do believe I've never eaten macadamias !

I believe brazilians are bare as well

I don't even know why ya'll are talking about these Brazil and Macademia nuts. Outside of cookies Macademia nuts are worthless as are Brazils!

Best Ever: Cashews, Pistachios, and Almonds!

Certainly, but Macadamias are God's gift to nut aficionados.
