Can Openers

[Bakershalfdozen]

This is the one I've had for several years now. I love it because it cuts in such a way that there are smooth edges and the lid lifts off instead of falling down in the can. :ideas:

What kind do you use?

[Chelle]

I've always just used the cheapo manual crank can-opener. I wish they made one for left-handed people though. There's one battery-powered one that I've seen advertised on TV, but I can't remember the name of it. You clip it onto the top of the can and it opens it by itself.

When I was growing up we had a Ronco can-opener. I hated that thing. I always shocked myself every time I touched it.

This is the kind I use - works well left or right handed, plus it keeps working even during power outages! :lol:

I bet PE's got one with a recoil starter, Mine looks just like the sister's above, same color even, plus I got them Army Surplus can openers, they are fun,, My apprentice used a grinder to remove the top from his beens one day.

The black handled one replaced the other can opener I used to have for about a million years that looked like this (also left or right handed)...

My wife has a unit from Pampered Chef that is a side cutting, smooth edge opener. It operates on the very same concept as the Hamilton Beach item up there, except that it's hand crank job. The reason we prefer that is there is never a need to worry about power outages.

Mine is a P-38, from USAF issue. I keep it on my key-chain. :lol:

Trish just purchased that one and I just got it in the mail yesterday. I have not used it yet.

You are going to love it, BroMatt. :lol

It is simply the neatest thing, and not only that but we all know that Pampered Chef has a reputation for high quality that they have to uphold. I especially like the ease with which it operates. It is small, compact and lightweight. It appears to be built to last just about forever, or maybe a day short of that. :lol:

I have a hand-crank style for power outages but since that rarely happens, I gladly use my electric one.

I use a can opener that does the same thing except it isn't electric and doesn't lift the lid for you. It's a manual hand crank can opener that leave smooth edges. I love it too because I never have to wash it like I do with with regular manual can opener (the juice gets on the blade). I brought it from walmart.
