Yeah, the Good Cook Touch Lobster Cracker can be used to crack nuts too. The manufacturer actually mentions in their description that it's intended for both lobsters and nuts, so it's meant to be versatile. It’s got a heavy-duty cast head which helps with balance and can definitely handle tough shells, whether we're talking seafood or nuts.
Based on what we've found, folks are generally happy using it for cracking different types of nuts. It's sturdy enough to crack them open without turning them into crumbs. Plus, the soft, non-slip grip seems to make it more comfortable to use, which is a nice bonus when doing a lot of cracking at once.
Now, some things to keep in mind: People have said it’s quite strong and does well with big nuts and hard shells. But a few mentioned that the rubber grips might slip sometimes, which could be annoying during longer sessions.
Also, there’s a bit of a learning curve, so it might take a little practice to use well without pinching fingers or making a mess. For really big lobster claws, it might be a bit of a handful and some suggest looking into other tools for that.
But overall, it seems like a solid choice if you're after something that can handle both seafood and nuts. Just be aware of those small quirks, and it could be a handy tool for your kitchen.
