    I’ve had the same smooth edge can opener in my house for almost 20 years. It’s a traditional style and still works perfectly. I think that’s the best part of them, because they don’t cut they just release the glue on the seal; the parts don’t wear down like the blade can. I can recommend

      James Griffin agreed! I spent about $15 - $20 on the OXO soft grip opener because it’s as smooth as the Kitchenaid one featured here. Some things really are worth the money. Strangely enough, the OXO soft grip salt and pepper grinders are also worth their higher price-nothing like freshly ground pepper or salt, and they operate as smoothly as their other soft grip products

      When I first got married we had terrible can opener problems. My wife worked in a kitchen so some of the recipes we made used the giant #10 cans, and they took their toll on even the "nice" can openers from the local target/walmart/etc. I broke down and bought the Fissler featured as #2 here, I made a video the day I got it, and another one last year about the thing, we've been using it going on near 5 years now and it still works as good as the day I got it. I've given them as gifts to any friends just moving out and such, every one has asked where I got them because all their family wants one.

    The soft edge can opener is great, but I think it takes about 20 cans before you finally get done how to do it smoothly. But once you figure it out, it's super smooth, doesn't have any sharp edges, and most importantly doesn't drop the lid into the food.

    The oxo is what I use and think it is a great opener. I have the other type also but just for opening tuna cans. Another nice thing about the side openers is the top can be pressed back on kinda like a lid for short term storage if you don't use all the contents but shouldn't be used that way for more then a day and in the fridge.

    Gotta review the Starfrit top-turn smooth-open. Best can opener by far, smooth action sturdy build. It's so strong it can hold the can while you're turning it and it even grips the the lid when you're done opening. Just pull apart the arms over the garbage can to drop the lid. Only 10 bucks retail.

I had an electric can opener for a while that worked great (SOMETIMES) and then sucked a lot of times. I had an old crappy can opener in the kitchen drawer that I have been using since I threw the electric one away. After watching your can opener review I went on Amazon and ordered the Kitchen Aid opener. When it arrived and I used it the first time, I had the same results as you did.; I was impressed. I am very glad that I watched your review and then ordered this product. Thank you for the entertaining reviews and helpful information. I will be looking through your reviews before I order anything in the future, Keep up the great work.

    It's interesting that there are people out there that dislike smooth edge can openers over the regular ones. Like why would you want a sharp metal edge with cutting hazard and metal splints in your food if you could also decide to have a clean opened can? I don't understand.

Bought one at Walmart in 2016 for $10.49 plus tax, 3 years in & now it skips a couple spots on the can & you have to go over it again, then use a spoon to lift the lid out & twist it off the can. Even after disassembling it, cleaning & reassembling it, it still acts up. My OLD American made Swing A Way never had those issues AT ALL until it got lost in a move. Avoid the NEW Swing A Way can openers at all costs, the quality is gone now.

      Wrong.
      Draining a smooth edge opened can is really easy. Just leave the lid on, hold the can with one hand, and the lid with the other hand, tilt the can downwards at about a 45 degree angle, and slightly open the lid until the liquid flows out at the speed you want. When the liquid stops flowing, hold the can upright and take the lid off.

  • @android927
    @android927 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    For manual can openers i prefer the soft-edge type because i find it easier to get the lid off the can. However, the can opener i usually use is an automatic one (normal type, not soft edge) with a built in magnet that causes the lid to stay behind when the can is removed.
    Another benefit of the soft-edge type is that the lid can be placed back on top of the can after it has been removed, which makes it ideal if you don't want to use the contents of the can all at once.
