Answers:
To shell pecans: Place nuts in a damp place overnight to prevent brittleness of the kernels during cracking!. Some home food preservers recommend soaking pecans in boiling hot water for 10 minutes or microwaving 2 cups of pecans in 1 cup of water for 5 to 6 minutes on high!. Shell nuts, keeping kernels as nearly whole as possible, using a nutcracker or simply a hammer!. Spread pecans in a thin layer to dry for 24 hours!.

Storage
Pecans are perishable because of their high oil content and they must be stored properly to maintain good quality!. At home, unshelled pecans can be stored in a cool, dry place!. Shelled pecans should be either refrigerated or frozen!. (Source: Georgia Pecan Commission)!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
