Zyliss Prawn & Shrimp Tool, Deveiner & Sheller with Non-Slip Handle

This tool is simply AWESOME and deserves a rare 5* plus rating. Prior to getting this, I could never get oysters open with out a major to-do. It was so bad, that I would skip home prep of one of my favorite treats and stick to restaurants ($$$$). On a trip to visit relatives, my adult nephew showed me this device and a few tips on how to use it. Once I got home, I ordered this and it worked great; so much so that I can now “shuck” a dozen oysters in less than 10 minutes!!The trick is to find the hinge on the oyster (typically the fattest part of the oyster) and work the tip of the knife into that soft spot by working it back and forth in a wriggle type motion. It doesn’t take much force. More a working motion to work the knife tip in. Once the tip goes in a few millimeters, you can turn/twist the knife and break the oyster open. Then work the flat edge of the knife along the oyster to cut the muscle off the shell. The “holder” works with smaller oysters and protect the hand holding the bivalve. Larger oysters can simply be held with a hand towel. The knife is made of thick steel that can handle the work of prying open the oysters.Can’t tell you how much I love this simple kit. Thanks to this product, I can enjoy my favorite farm-raised oysters any time I want (except in months that don’t have an “R” in them - but that’s another story!). Now if I can find a really good mignonette sauce recipe, I’ll be set!

Wow! Finally a product to make easy work of shucking oysters! We really love oysters, and have purchased numerous products over the years. My husband inevitably goes back to the "towel method" while I nervously watch, hoping he doesn't gouge himself in the process. Too afraid to try this method myself, I really appreciated the detailed, step-by-step instructions for using the Zyliss Oyster Tool and Knife Set. Perhaps it is common knowledge to everyone but me, but I did not realize there is a rounded side to the oyster that needs to face down in order to preserve the oyster liquor. While I do appreciate the detailed instructions, the shining star is the actual unit.Safety is at the forefront of this product. The uniquely designed silicone pocket for the oyster to sit in, coupled with non-skid feet, creates a secure environment for shucking. The curved knife edge and serrated blade make easy work of opening the hinge, and dislodging the muscle that keeps the oyster attached to the shell. The extra thumb guard on the knife is an added plus when met with resistance. Having a specialized holder for the knife at the base of the unit keeps everything neat and tidy.Clean-up is a breeze with the dishwasher, and the added bonus? A five (5) year warranty comes with this fabulous product! This one is a clear favorite in our house - love it!

works very well, and make is nearly (knock on wood) impossible to cut yourself while opening oysters. I have had guests who have never opened one before use this product with ease, I have not noticed the issues that some commenters have made with regard to the size of the oyster pocket, I have found it equally effective for both large and small oysters. My only knock is that the knife has quite a sharp tip, which can, if used over-zealously, chip/break the ends of the shells, however this was easy to get used to and quickly stopped being an issue.

I bought this for my dad after he jabbed himself one too many times in an attempt to open a batch of oysters. He is thrilled! The silicone keeps the oyster from slipping so it's super easy get just the right leverage. I was skeptical of the many wooden versions available on Amazon. I'm glad I kept scrolling!

My family has eaten lobster in Maine fresh out of the pot for decades. Our archival nutcrakers have gotten rusty and wobbly and It is incredibly hard to find crackers that actually work. These are amazing. They may be on the pricey side but they are totally worth it if you eat lobster frequently. I have NOT tried them on crabs.

This lobster cracker is excellent for cracking lobster shells, even the hard claws. We use it almost daily in the summer for pulling Prosecco corks. We have one for the kitchen drawer and one for travel.

I was very excited to try this product. I just had purchased some fresh lobster and began cracking them open. This item snapped in two while I tried to open up my first lobster claw. Very disappointing.

I don’t know what kind of lobsters these are supposed to used on, but if it’s under 3 lbs, these are too thick and big. That spoon side is for…gelato scooping or something.Looked good, and the company has got good cutlery, but…this particular tool…this ain’t it.

I grew up and live on the East coast and am a big seafood fan. This oyster tool is not the one I grew up with but it is much safer for a novice oyster shucker, and suits a modern kitchen. Also at my age I find it excellent for better, safer grip while opening the hinge. Easy to clean in the dishwasher and the knife is safely housed in the holder for storage

Excellent quality. So much easier to peel prawns using these scissors. Well worth the price!

El producto perdió la punta y se curvó.

It is a very sturdy and attractive item.
