Anyone have a good way to crack walnuts? I don't have a nutcracker and it is 10 below and I don't want to go to town to buy one

I guess I'll have to get the sledge hammer to do more than one at a time as I need 5 cups, ugh! Thanks.

Are you talking English Walnuts? Hold two in one hand and squeeze--usually works. If you are talking Black Walnuts just lay them out on a hard driveway and run over them with a car--WORKS!! no damage to the meat.

Oh I like the car idea, funny. I think I might try it with the 4 wheeler though.
