This process is not difficult if you know a few secrets.

Step 1
There are a wide variety of nut peeling tools, such as tongs, vices, and nutcracker toys. If you don't have a special tool, don't be discouraged.
Use the old proven method - a hammer, which can be found in every home. This process is not difficult if you know a few secrets.
Step 2
It is better to peel the nuts in the kitchen, so as not to crawl over the carpet in the living room in search of scattered shells. Moreover, the sharp edges of the shells can injure the leg of you or your children. Prepare the place, it should be a solid, sturdy surface: floor, table or stool.
Step 3
Place a wooden plank on a stable, level surface. Cover the board with a tea towel. This will help prevent nuts from slipping and small pieces of shells bouncing off.
Step 4
Take a small hammer. Place the nut on the surface of the board with one hand and do not hit the nut hard with a hammer. Place the hazelnuts vertically. Hit the walnuts along the seam and the almonds on a flat surface.
On impact, the nut will split into two halves and the kernel will be easily released.
Step 5
If you haven't calculated the force of the impact and the kernels are stuck in the halves of the shell, take a sharp wooden stick and pull out the stuck pieces of the kernel. You can also use toothpicks.
