Nutcracker

A nutcracker doesn‘t work like a paring knife, corkscrew or other kitchen utensil: although we use one to break open a shell and get to the core, a nutcracker also does something in addition: it shows us how we can feed ourselves with the simplest of means, pass the time quietly in front of a fire or enjoy sitting together . . . as we have done since millennia.
