Drosselmeyer - Nutcracker

Shelling nuts was almost certainly one of the world’s first domestic challenges. This might explain why there are more than 200 registered patents on nutcrackers. Drosselmeyer is the first handheld nutcracker to have a double lever action and a container to collect the shells. This award winning design is widely regarded as the best and most powerful nutcracker on the market. It’s a quick, clean and easy way to crack nuts.

• Award winning design by Erik von Schoultz and Joakim Norin 
• weight: 350 g

So the programme reads, as the tall character with the eye patch makes his entrance in the famous christmas ballet, Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite - E.T.A. Hoffmann. As the owner of the town's toy factory it is said that whenever he appears, magic and unexpected things starts to happen. Sometimes it takes a bit of magic in order to crack the hardest nut.

• Nutcrackers usually employ similar design and therefore also present the user with similar problems. Shells and crumbs flying around, almonds that refuse to get cracked, and the ever-present danger of getting your fingers squeezed off.
• Swedish-made Drosselmeyer is a brand new kind of nutcracker, designed to adorn the table at Christmastime, with both its form and function. Simply insert the nut into the cone, cover the opening and give the handle a light squeeze. Its unique design and durable construction has made Drosselmeyer a favourite amongst nutcrackers.
• Drosselmeyer is designed to fit all kinds of nuts. Smaller ones, such as almonds and hazel nuts, end up at the bottom of the cone and crack easily with the force of the double lever.
• Larger nuts, such as walnuts and Brazil nuts end up in top of the cone and Drosselmeyer makes cracking these open an easy job as well.
