Things They Probably Don’t Teach In Culinary School (Part 1: How to Crush Walnuts)
February 13, 2008 — JennySomething tells me there’s a more proper method for crushing walnuts. I, however, prefer to use the back of a tablespoon.
It works. That’s what counts.

I’m sure most professional chefs would laugh at some of my preparation methods.
Sounds like we both went Valentine baking crazy…can’t wait to see what you made!

I know you posted this like 2 1/2 months ago, but if I need to crush a lot of walnuts? I put them in a ziplock bag and kill it with my hammer.

Point. I’m a fan of the freezer-bag-and-hammer or the freezer-bag-and-meat-mallet method as well. This just works better if you need a small amount for sprinkling.
