Pea Sheller ??

Has anyone used a pea sheller. If so, what kind and how did it work. I was online looking up about the proper time to harvest my pink eye purple hull peas and saw a video with a guy feeding the peas into a small hand crank machine that shelled the peas. Looked easy but don't know how it will really work. Found one on Amazon - Mr. Pea Sheller - cost about $42. I read the reviews and some said it was great and others said it was cheap. So I am not sure about investing in one. I hate to shell peas.

I have never used one. Have you looked on ebay? I saw hand cranked and electric ones. If you get one let us know how it works! Very Happy

This is an old thread but I'm wanting to buy a cheap hand-cranked pea sheller. Anyone have one and how do you rate it? Thank you

My wife has an old cheap hand-cranked pea sheller. Me. Don't ask her to rate it! Shocked

Sorry, shipping costs would be outrageous.

Well, I bought it a few years ago. Worked better than not using one. You had to pick the peas at just the right maturity. Worked better if you let the unshelled peas sit around on the counter for a while. Letting it sit on the counter sort of made the shell a little tougher so it would not disintegrate when sent thru the sheller. I use it when i am harvesting a whole 4x8 bed of pinkeye purple hull peas. I don't think it can be used for any other peas than the cowpeas. It is called both Mr. Pea Sheller or Pea Sheller Jr. I think I called the seller and asked if these were the same sheller and they said yes. That was $42 way back in 2012, no telling what the price is now.

I did it. I bought the hand crank Pea Sheller Jr. at $44.99 ($3 discount). I only prep for 2 and don't need the big electric units that cost in the hundreds. I like primitives than don't require electricity, especially living in CA with expensive electricity and rolling brown outs and sudden black outs.

It arrived last night!! I love Primitives.

I'd be tempted, but I don't have a suitable surface to mount it on, just granite countertops and a mahogany dining table.

I will be using outdoor redwood picnic tables that are 40 years old. One under the shade cloth and one under the patio roof. Rain or shine. Very Happy
