What does a lobster and crab cracker do?

It cracks hard shells so you can get to the meat inside crab claws, lobster shells and similar shellfish.

Is it useful for crab claws?

Yes. Crab claws are one of the main reasons to use a dedicated shellfish cracker.

Can I use it for lobster?

Yes. It is designed for lobster shells as well as crab and other hard shellfish.

Why not just use a knife?

A cracker gives more controlled pressure and is a better tool for hard shells than a knife or fork.

Is it dishwasher safe?

No. This cracker should be washed by hand and dried after use.

What should I use with it?

Seafood forks are the natural pairing because they help pick out the meat after the shell is cracked.

Is it suitable for seafood platters?

Yes. It is useful for crab, lobster and shellfish platters where harder shells are served.
