Correct usage of hazelnut fruit opener

When using the hazelnut fruit opener, align the groove with the seam of the fruit shell and press it vertically to pry it open. There are five key points for use: positioning grooves, vertical force application, anti slip grip, cleaning and maintenance, and safety protection.

1. Positioning groove

The front end of the hazelnut opener is designed with a V-shaped groove, which needs to be fully adhered to the natural seam line of the hazelnut shell during use. Nut shells usually have natural cracks, and precise alignment can reduce the difficulty of applying force. Some products have anti slip grooves in the grooves, which can prevent nuts from sliding and shifting during operation.

2. Vertical force application

After holding the handle, keep the fruit opener perpendicular to the desktop and press it down quickly in one go to crack the shell. To avoid the breakage of nuts caused by diagonal force, first-time users can first fix hazelnuts at the corners of the table. Wild hazelnuts with higher hardness may require repeated application of force, but the crack condition should be checked after each pressing.

3. Anti slip Grip

The wavy grip wrapped in rubber can enhance grip stability, especially suitable for use when the hands are wet or greasy. Two handed operators can fix the base of the fruit opener with one hand and control the pressure intensity with the other hand. It is recommended to rub and heat the handle before use in winter to prevent hand stiffness from affecting strength control.

4. Cleaning and Maintenance

After use, it is necessary to promptly remove residual fruit shell debris in the groove to prevent scale accumulation from affecting the accuracy of the next use. Stainless steel material can be wiped with a soft cloth to avoid scratching the contact surface with steel wire balls. Before long-term storage, a small amount of food grade lubricating oil should be dripped onto the shaft to maintain flexibility.

V. Safety Protection

During operation, fingers should be kept away from the compression area, and adult supervision is required for children to use it. It is recommended to operate on a flat desktop to avoid force deviation caused by soft surfaces such as sofas or mattresses. If the hazelnut is too small in volume or irregular in shape, it is recommended to use nut pliers to avoid the risk of slipping.

When using the hazelnut fruit opener in daily life, it can be paired with a nut tray to collect crushed shells. Choosing a style with a silicone anti slip pad at the bottom can improve operational efficiency. For hazelnuts that are not completely cracked, it is forbidden to break them by hand to avoid scratches. They can be rotated and pressed down twice. When storing, pay attention to staying away from high temperature and humid environments, and regularly check whether the screws of the shaft are loose. Special varieties such as American hazelnuts may require a specialized enlarged fruit opener, and attention should be paid to the product's pressure parameters when purchasing.
