Today at the La Jolla Farmer's Market, our favorite purveyor had macadamia nuts. When we got home, a little research told us that one reason these nuts are so expensive is that they are very hard to open. The nutcracker wasn't effective, and so we used a vise. It was tedious...I understand there are some special tools for this, but this might be one of those things that isn't worth the effort.
