Kitchen Gadgets Nutcracker

One of the Kitchen Gadgets that my aunt Jemima has is a Santa Claus Shape Nutcracker. I once thought that nuts were an autumn season dry fruit. I wasn't wrong completely since that's the traditional season in the year where nuts are collected. But now we can have them during the whole year. There are different kinds of nuts: Almonds, cashews, chestnuts, macadamias, pecans, pistachios, pine nuts and walnuts. For the sake of this Post though, I'm gonna talk about those nuts that need a nutcracker in order to grab the edible kernel in the shell.

Nuts are great. They have many valuable healthy properties like reducing the risk of heart diseases in 10%, that's huge. We can find nuts in many food recipes like chicken and we also have chocolates and ice creams with them. But, if you are a guy like me, you can also eat them on their own, I mean, the plain nut itself without anything distracting you from its taste.

My aunt's nutcracker has the shape of a fat Santa Claus. She's had got it forever since I have memory. What you do with that nutcracker gadget is to put the nut in Santa's belly and then you bend him down and guess where the nut end up coming from... yeah, from his butt! And that's why that nutcracker is so memorable to me. I'd hope that every kitchen gadget be like that. I mean, why do I have to be bored with just metal tools if we can have figures and traditional shapes doing the job for us.
