I have a big bag of mixed nuts (hazelnuts, walnuts, pecans, Brazil nuts) in their shells that I want to crack open to enjoy later. I have tried to look up how to crack individual types of these nuts but they are all different. Can I just dump all the nuts in a barrel and soak them for a few hours until their shells are soft or will this ruin the nuts?

2Why would you want to soak the nuts? Welcome, btw.– Stephie ♦Mar 29, 2015 at 19:15

So that they'll crack more easily.– Lucas AlanisMar 29, 2015 at 23:38

Put them in a sack and throw them against the ground.– ThorstMar 30, 2015 at 11:45

I feel like that would break all the nuts and also make it hard to separate the broken shells from the nuts.– Lucas AlanisMar 30, 2015 at 16:18

You really can't automate this. As you noted, each nut is cracked with a different technique and requires an individually independent amount of force.
Soaking the nuts won't accomplish anything desirable.
