So far: disappointed! UPDATE: MUCH, MUCH BETTER SECOND TIME!!!
I'm not totally giving up on this purchase, but, so far, I'm disappointed. While it will shell a goodly proportion of your pea-pickings, it will also squash more than I like. It seems to relate to the moisture content to the shells. Although I havn't tried the really "crunchy" dried ones, if your pea still has a "leathery" feel, the sheller doesn't do a good job or popping the peas out...it smashes them. They seem to address the issue when they suggest a blanching treatment, then cool and dry them....then try again. I havn't tried that either. All in all, just not as simple as I had hoped.
I'm going to keep working with it, but not good so far!
UPDATE: TRIED THIS SHELLER AGAIN TODAY WITH THE SHELLS MUCH DRIER....MANY OF THEM CRUNCHY! WORKED MUCH, MUCH BETTER....SHELLED ABOUT 2 QUARTS OF PEAS IN 30 MINUTES. IT DID MASH A FEW, BUT A REASONABLE SACRIFICE FOR THE SPEED AND CONVENIENCE. I USED A SMALL BATTERY DRILL...DON'T THINK YOU'RE GONNA LIKE SPINNING THIS THING BY HAND! OVERALL, I'M ON THE ROAD TO LIKING THIS THING!
