Nice big sharp chef's knife and use a rocking motion. I prefer this way. Or you can put in a ziploc and hit with a rolling pin. Use a large sieve for the nut powder.
If I have a lot of nuts to chop, I use the ziplock method. I generally use the bottom of a glass instead of a rolling pin. If it's 5-6 pecan halves for my morning oatmeal, I just use my fingers to break them into pieces.
Pecans in oatmeal? Great idea!
Growing up I loved using this thing:
I had one of those from Pampered chef. It worked better than the old fashioned type until I ruined the blade (bent it somehow). I still think chopping nuts the old fashioned way is the best way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRke3_41RmY
My mom had one with a grinder at the top that worked well.Oh sure, pecans are nice and flat! Where's the video with pistachios flying all over the kitchen? Guess I need to practice my big knife rocking skills ...
