How To Crack Every Nut | Method Mastery | Epicurious - Навчання та стиль
I’ve learnt to break every nut , filet every fish, cut every fruit , chop every vegetable, how to open every shellfish and mix every cocktail
How’s your quarantine going?
Not great man

I've learned the same things
I killed a Snake because it killed my dog no joke😢

The professionalism and maturity to not laugh or smile at nut jokes.
Couldn’t be me
*deez n-*
You have to be understanding the jokes to laugh at them
i think she knows of the jokes but choosing not to laugh . I mean after a while the joke becomes dry
@@okgoose3305 NO bad
You know, I'm something of a nut buster myself

I appreciate the sheer amount of innuendos in this video, whether intended or not, delivered in such a professional manner. This was truly a treat to watch.
As a person living in a country with lots and lots of coconuts, Im shocked of her method of opening them.
Ikr. Western style I guess
Pecans and nuts too. It's fun as a parody sketch.
It’s a fruit or nuts?
From to coconut tree from the koko palm family
@@Snipurfeyyhatesmaththe coconut is a big big nut
@@Snipurfeyyhatesmath
Its not a nut but a fruit
I love how humans haven't gotten past the "hit it with a rock" stage with some nuts
Because some time's the simplest way is the best way
They should use the fist for smaller ones.
It's all about cost effective
If it works, it works
I just lift it up and smash it on the table, works with most nuts
Side effects might include:
-Breaking of the lower midsection
-Bleeding
-Swelling
-A better understanding of this video’s meaning
Nuts can bleed?
Not the human anatomy

Me and my cousin used to go out in my great great grandma’s backyard and pick pecans, and sometimes we would eat them and sometimes we would get big paper bags put them in there and sell them for about 5-10 dollars each. It was fun as a 5 year old!
I was bored so I decided to count Everytime she said the word "nut" weather it was in a word like "nutcracker or coconut" or it was a word by itself and she said the word nut 98 times throughout this entire video
That's a lot of nut
Gabutnyaaa 🤣🤣
i can bust a nut to that

It’s a universal key lol
Monke style wins.
Beggars. Lol.
The elementary school I went to was right next to some houses and one house had a pecan tree that was over the fence, and it’d drop some pecans on the school’s sides and a lot of students would go to the tree to enjoy some pecans every here and then during recess. Good memories, and love pecans
Pecans remind me of my great grandma and great grandpa they always had a bucket of pecans In their entryway that me and my siblings would take some from and open them with our shoes and Munch on them. I miss them
The commenters: In terms of maturity, we have no maturity
Meee

Curious fact: in Brazil, Brazil nuts are called Pará nuts, and Pará is a specific state in Brazil (maybe in Pará they call them just nuts, idk)
in germany we call them para nuts, too
In Sweden er call them para nuts (paranötter) too!
Filippa Skog i didnt knew that, thats to nice... paranotter wow, i’m from pará so..
In Pará we usually just call it nut indeed
idk in Bulgaria we have have a breakfast food dzhumayka called after a city but still even in this city we call it that way
You’re awesome! Thank you for the nice illustration
Another way I do pecans is that I take the most curved sides and use the household nutcrackers and crack them along the curved sides. When done gently enough you can get a nice long crack along the sides then you can go along the middle or end of them and go in a circle cracking it gently. I have been able to get so many pecan halves out without ruining them
Normal culinary art schools: " Gently crack the pecan around the shell with pliers"
Texan culinary art schools: "Now gently stomp the hell out of the pecan like a horse stomping on a snake"

You dont want to bust a nut in the oven
That sounds weird out of context
Its beautiful. I watched this for 5 hours now.
My late father had a party trick where he could crack a brazil nut with his bare hands. He would put the nut on a wooden chopping board (less slippery and protects the table) and bear in mind brazil nut shells are triangular, so there's a hard ridge pointing up. He'd then use the heel of his hand to slam down on the nut and crack it open, often in one go.
That man had the broadest, most calloused hands I've ever seen. And if you were wondering, yes, he looked like a Viking.

Honestly, as a Southeast Asian, I don't understand it when people drink coconut milk. It's an ingredient for many recipes but we don't see it as a drink. To us it's like seeing someone drinking pure chicken stock.

As a person who live in tropical region, I can vouch that nobody chew the young coconut fibers like she did.

An adjustable plier like a tongue and groove plier is nicer for that. You can adjust the opening to just big enough for cracking but don't have to worry about accidentally crushing the nut
she says "it's technically not a nut."

Vice grips allow for fine adjustment, which enables you to go just far enough to crack the shell without going to far and fracturing the nut meat.

Chef: So today we are going to learn how to crack open every kind of nut!
Chef: So onto the Black Walnut, now if I use a nutcracker it won't open, so what should I use?
Me: There's probably a designated tool
Also the chef: *pulls out the hammer*
It works 😂😂😂
chef : Now, Lets use my nuts

Thank you, that was very enlightening.
I love watching her, she seems to be a lovely person 😻👌
At my home we actually have an almond tree and when we want to Crack the almonds we get two rocks a smooth one and a sharp or rough one, then we put the almond on the smooth one holding one end and then hitting it with the other one, and that's how to crack an almond😁
(same with walnuts)
And we sometimes eat it when it's green or not dry yet, if you tasted a green almonds with dipping it in salt you should know how good it is😋
I just wanted to say this , even if you care or not 🙃
Now I want to try it!
I also want to try sprouted coconut
My mom opens a "mature coconut" in less than 10 secs into exactly similar 2 halfs. The trick is to hit on the vertical nudges on the coconut while holding it horizontal. So you hit the nudges on the coconut perpendicularly.
This method is taught here in other video, i guess, for the holes i just use a thin knife to open a hole
Yeah... I also learn it recently... we Bangladeshi use boti ( knife) and cracke that
Then there will be no baby's produces, and if in some miracle the baby is made, it won't have breast milk either!!!
As a Filipino yes this is how we do it.
I open young coconut in 7 seconds
You're expecting me to watch 20 minutes of someone cracking nuts?
*You're absolutely right*
You'd be NUTS not to, tbh
Like for mentioning the "door".
It was one of the fun memories with cousins as a child
Thanks chef

In elementary school, we had an oak tree outside, and we sometimes just sat under it, picking some acorns, and grinding away their skin on the concrete, until there was only the insides left. That was sometimes our "program" in the breaks. 3 or 4 of us, in a circle, crouching or sitting on the concrete, grinding acorns😂😂😂
JustJaguar my dad would “entertain” my brother and I every acorn season by asking my brother and I to collect acorns for the squirrels in winter. We would spend hours collecting acorns after school.
Jacqueline Underwood that's so lovely!
i used to do that exact same thing
I love the cute little stuffed squirrels!
That the first I've seen a coconut 🥥 so easy to open and trust me I've seen and alot of coconuts
Fun fact a coconut is not a nut correct me if I’m wrong I learned that from the coconut song
You know... why they call coco palm trees coco palms.... because they... Um... have a type of tree nut called.... OH WAIT! A coconut....
It's called a coconut because the shell of the coconut is really hard. Someone please correct if I am wrong. That's just what I believe.
Me to
Please do correct me if im wrong but coconut is coconut
Its a cocofruit ;)

There’s easy better less mess way of opening coconut lol that was funny to watch. Happy crackling!
When I was little, my family would buy assorted nuts for Christmas or Easter. The holiday pass time was watching the kids figuring out random ways to open a nut without a nutcracker. My hands are hard as rocks now as an adult, and I believe that's why.
Nut: ima make a hard shell to protect my insides
Humans: hmm here’s something hard that is very difficult to break. I wonder if whatever is inside is edible?
Same with chiles
Chiles:Finally nothing will eat me now
Humans:Wow this burns my mouth i wonder if i can farm this
Same with lemons: I’m gonna be so sour that no one would like my taste, finally I’ll thrive Humans: oh that’s bitter! My mouth feels weird, I wonder what else I can make bitter
Same with coconut
Coconut: my shell is so strong! Nobody will hurt me
Humans: ah yes drink
Well the coconut is much more nuttier than the other ones...
Nut: *sweats profusely*

Super helpful! :D
English or Persian walnuts are easily cracked open by inserting the tip of a knife into the stem end, and then twisting. Very clean results.
A fine-tipped butter knife is the best and safest. Thinner is also better, because it's easier to insert.

My Uncle is an expert coconut cracker. He Securely holds it in his hand taps it only once with a Machete and it breaks into perfect Two pieces. He can also crack it open by smacking it onto any hard object like a stone. He then proceeds to casually drinks the water without dripping a single drop.
Speaking of coconut water it is amazing with rum or vodka ✌️
mature coconut has 3 spine going from the base to the tip if you hit them hard with the back of a butcher knife at the mid section on all 3 line it will split in half perfectly
