In search of a decent can-opener

<p>This is the one my wife requested when we moved and couldn’t find the old opener.</p>

<p>[Kuhn</a> Rikon Switzerland Products: Safety LidLifter Can Opener](<a href=“http://www.kuhnrikon.com/products/tools/tools.php3?id=66]Kuhn”>http://www.kuhnrikon.com/products/tools/tools.php3?id=66)</p>

<p>It took me a minute or so to figure it out but its very cool; opener never comes in contact with the contents and lid doesn’t drop into the can. Yes, it is a manual machine, but the idea is safety and cleanliness. When you engage this baby onto your can, the blade cuts into the side of the lid, and it does so creating a dull edge that you cannot cut yourself on.</p>

<p>When the blade is finished cutting, the lid stays in place, rather than dipping down into the food, contaminating it. Very cool.</p>
