Have you seen all the shelled nuts in the stores lately? They put them out this time of year because a lot of people like to have nut bowls and nutcrackers for the holidays. Except that no place is selling the nutcrackers this year. One would imagine that if you sell pecans, almonds, and brazil nuts in their shells that one could purchase a tool to open them in the same establishment. One would be wrong.
These stores do however sell other necessary kitchen tools, such as a strawberry huller or a french fry cutter, because apparently we felt the need to reinvent the knife. But the best one I saw was an egg cracker. Seriously?? We've been cracking eggs for hundreds of years with our hands! Egg shells are not hard to crack. Not as hard as, say, a nut shell!
For anyone who purchases it, I think the packaging for the egg cracker needs to say this: "Directions: Put the egg cracker on the counter, turn around, and leave the kitchen. You do not belong in there!"
