Travel to Brazil

Cannon Ball asked:


A friend has given me about 20 pounds of Brazil Nuts. I’m trying to crack and shell the nuts in large pieces to use for brittle but having little success. I heard, years ago, that freezing or boiling helps. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks Tanika97, your answer works great.

I’ve tried 3 different crackers, light pressure, hard pressure, all kinds of stuff. Seems like 60% of the Brazil nuts I crack get caught in the shell. Anyone figured out how to crack these things successfully?
