May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have never a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!
Happy Thanksgiving

That's cute CanMan - thank you for sharing! And Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
My father in law sits with a small hammer and hits them one at a time - but he has the patience of an ox.
The rest of us, put two together in our hands and push them together, each using the other to break the shell.
Hope this helps!

I know this is too late for anyone in the northern hemisphere, but pecan season is about to start in Australia and I was looking for some secret hint to make shelling these nuts easier.
I have heard about the boiling method, but didnt know u had to let them dry for 24 hours after doing so. I'm going to try that this year thanks Canman.
As to the actual method of shelling, i try to crack the cap off both ends and then work on cracking the rest of the shell - u might lose a little of the ends of the nut doing this, but it makes it way easier to get the rest of the shell off.
I dont buy any pecans, i just pick em up from random trees i spot around the district (i dont think many Australians would recognise a pecan tree if it fell on them).
