I’ve found myself looking for a really good can opener. I purchased my last one, a KitchenAid, from Target and I’ve been disappointed in it the whole time. Sometimes it doesn’t puncture the lid right, and it feels like it got rusty kinda fast–not at all what I want out of a utensil I hoped would last for a decade or more (who wants to keep buying can openers? lol).
I’m looking for a manual handheld can opener. I’ve always had the type that opens from the top, but a little bit of Googling shows that there are types that open from the side. I’m in the USA if that matters!
What does Lemmy think?
I have an unorthodox one. I’m a sucker for a gadget so I got a Kitchen Mama Can Opener and it works great. There was a short learning curve but now I just put it on the can and let it roll. Cuts with no sharp edge and, an unexpected benefit, it’s stupid looking so I can always find it. I was making a roux last night, in fact, and set it to open a can with one hand while I stirred.
