Pecan nuts in their shells can be a great buy during pecan season; or you may be lucky enough to have a pecan tree of your own. Tasty as they are, there is still the question of getting them open. Here is some old-fashioned assistance to get the nutmeat out in one piece.
Pour boiling water over the pecan nuts.
Let the pecan nuts stand tightly covered for five or six minutes. This is softening the shell and will enable you to extract the nut easily without a trace of the bitter lining of the nut.
Use a nutcracker and crack lightly all around the nuts. This should enable you to obtain the nuts quickly and for the most part, the nuts should come out whole.
