Pecan Cracking BEAST!
We have the pleasure of working with a lot of really neat nut crackers. We just linked up with a new manufacturer that produces the Pecan Cracking Machine. This pecan cracker is a beast when it is time to start cracking pecans. So many people take their nuts to commercial cracking houses where they have to stand in line to pay someone else to crack their pecans for them. Whereas that isn't a bad thing, if you need very large quantities of pecans shelled every year it can become quite costly. Maybe you sell pecans from your home, farm, or at a Farmer's Market and would like to answer "Right Here" when someone asks where is the best place to have them cracked. The Pecan Cracking Machine is portable so it can go where you need to be.

Now, you are probably asking yourself, "What makes this cracker so great?". The Pecan Cracking Machine easily cracks 35lbs of not only pecans, but English walnuts and even peanuts, per HOUR! This sheller gives 80% - 90% nutmeat halves for Pecans and 90% - 95% nutmeat halves for English Walnuts. That gives you the ability to crack nuts at commercial volumes right in your barn if it pleases you.

The Pecan Cracking Machine is 100% American made! It is durable and sturdy with wheels for easy transport. The Pecan Cracking Machine is made from a mild steel that has been primed and painted with an oil based paint. This oil based paint aids in the nut cracker's ability to endure many of the outdoor elements and gives longevity when being stored. It is equipped with a 120-volt gear motor that turns a cage housed motor. This motor is easily adjusted with a hand jack to fit the size of your Pecans, English Walnuts, and Peanuts. Minimal maintenance is required, usually only yearly bearing greasing. To use the Pecan Cracking Machine simply plug it it, adjust the hand jack using the site reference gauge, flip the on switch, and start manually hand-feeding your English Walnuts or Pecans into the cracking barrel.
You can find this cracking beast on our websites, along with a selection of manual and electric nut crackers for any size nut you want to crack from acorns, to pecans, to black walnuts. Our electric Kinetic Kracker is a very popular pecan cracker. It is able to shell 1.560 pecans per hour! The Master Cracker is perfect for Black Walnuts and built to last. Or most popular nut cracker is the Get Crackin'. It cracks them all! Big, small, soft or hard shelled, the Get Crackin' has you covered.

Happy National Peanut Day! September 13
National Peanut Day
No secrets here, we LOVE nuts! A secret you may not know is that we are located in the heart of Peanut country! Our city is actually known as the Peanut Capital of the world! We have a festival every year with pageants and a parade as well. We LOVE peanuts! To celebrate National Peanut Day, I want to share some of our fun landmarks with you and a little peanut trivia!
Our town came together and put special landmarks all over the area. They are fun ways to represent and remember area events. You will notice that they are all giant painted peanuts!
Those are just a few of the more than 60 painted nuts around town. If you ever visit, you should see how many you can snap a photo with.
Did You Know?
- There are enough peanuts in one acre to make 30,000 peanut butter sandwiches.
- Peanuts are the #1 snack nut consumed in the U.S., accounting for two-thirds of the snack nut market.
- Two peanut farmers have been elected president of the USA – Thomas Jefferson and Jimmy Carter.
- Astronaut Alan Shepard brought a peanut with him to the moon.
- Rumor says that there’s enough mental stimulation in one peanut to produce 30 minutes of serious thinking. That may or may not be true, but peanuts are a good source of protein and the B vitamins, nutrients that help prevent “brain fatigue”.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups shelled raw peanuts
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Microwave first 3 ingredients in a 2-quart glass bowl on HIGH 5 minutes, using an 1100-watt microwave oven. (Microwave 1 more minute if using a 700-watt microwave.)
- Stir in peanuts. Microwave 3 more minutes in an 1100-watt oven (add 1 more minute in 700-watt oven)
- Stir in butter and vanilla. Microwave 45 seconds in an 1100-watt oven (add 1 more minute in 700-watt oven) or until candy is the color of peanut butter.
- Stir in baking soda (mixture will bubble). Working quickly, spread hot candy in a thin layer onto a lightly greased baking sheet using two metal forks.
- Cool completely and break into pieces.
I prefer my peanuts to be chopped up and I use a Food Chopper to do that. If you plant your own peanuts and want a little help harvesting them, then we have a handy bag that frees up both hands for you called the Gardener's Hollow Leg.
Both of these products and so much more can be found right on our website www.lawn-gardening-tools.com
