FAQs

How many crackers and picks are included in the set?

The set includes four lobster crackers and eight double-ended seafood picks.

What materials are the crackers and picks made from?

The product description indicates they are made from sturdy materials designed for longevity, with a silver finish. Specific alloy details are not provided.

Can this set be used in a dishwasher?

It is recommended to hand wash the crackers and picks with warm, soapy water and dry them immediately. Dishwashing may damage the finish and is not advised.

What is the length of the lobster crackers?

The lobster crackers are approximately 15cm long.

Are the picks sharp?

The picks are designed for durability and leverage to extract meat. They have pointed ends suitable for seafood but are not intended to be sharp cutting tools.

Can I use this set for other types of shellfish like shrimp or oysters?

While primarily designed for lobster and crab, the picks can be useful for deveining shrimp. However, they are not suitable for shucking oysters.

Will the crackers damage the shell too much?

The unique design aims to crack shells efficiently while helping to maintain their integrity. However, very delicate shells may fragment with excessive force.

Troubleshooting

Crackers not opening tough shells effectively

Ensure the cracker's jagged edges are properly aligned with the thickest part of the shell. Apply firm, steady pressure. For extremely hard shells, a second application of pressure may be needed.

Picks bending or not extracting meat

Verify you are using the correct end of the pick for the task. The flat end is for prying and scooping, while the fork end is for spearing. Ensure the shell is adequately cracked to allow access.

Discoloration or water spots on the finish

Hand wash thoroughly and dry immediately with a soft cloth after each use. Avoid leaving the components wet or in contact with acidic foods for extended periods.
