Using the shell cutters is easy. Just place the cutter on the shell of your crab or lobster and apply gentle pressure. The cutter will slice through the shell smoothly, avoiding the mess of smashing. You can use it on all kinds of hard - shelled crustaceans. And don't forget, it has a built - in bottle opener for when you want to enjoy a drink with your seafood. For the seafood forks, use the scoop end to get larger pieces of meat out, and the fork end to pick at the smaller bits. When you're done using the tools, wash them with warm, soapy water and dry them thoroughly. This will keep them in good condition and ready for your next seafood feast. Be careful when using the shell cutters as the blades are sharp. Keep them out of reach of children.
