seriously...........

Pampered Chef..........

$18.50 for a manual tin can opener seems a little rich to me. but of course i could be wrong.

when i buy lot's of the tin can type food now, i look for the pop top opener.

sphagetti, pork & beans, various other recipes with tomato sauce.

vienna sausage, different sardine recipes, and so forth.

most of our manual openers are about 5.00 a pop.

they wear out, get dull, etc. and into the trash.

a lifetime opener for less than $20.00?

ok, i can go with that. with a gaurantee?

I'm shocked...I say SHOCKED!

One of the problem is the krappy cans nowadays. Some have so little seam that an opener can't get a bite.

Anybody ever think about the amount of tiny metal shavings and slivers you eat over a lifetime from can openers.

Get the one like Field Grade, where previous night's little bit of Alpo drops off into your pork-n-beans as you open them. The circle of life

Hahaha

i wash mine after i use it. kinda germ phobic i is.

We use the ones that cut the lid seam from the side- - - - -no sharp edges and the lid can be replaced if only part of the contents a can is used. Half a can of "no bean" chili left over from a chili dog lunch gets refrigerated and used the next day. Half a can of chili, half an onion diced up fine, a handful of shredded cheddar, and two hot dogs on buns is just right for a mid-day snack. Add a bottle of Budweiser or two, and I can be jet propelled for a couple of hours!

Nice nail color there tikkanut. Do you favor any other colors?

ain't me............these openers leave no sharp edges/traces of tin can

I would pay $100 for a good can opener. I have bought pretty much everything I can find. They work for 2 or 3 cans and then they just jump off or miss spots. Might have to engineer one made of hardened tool steel

My wife has a good unit in the kitchen drawer but I also keep a half dozen freds salted around the place because I know they always work.

fred = frigging ridiculous eating device.

I have a lifetime supply of the USA Swingaways. Always made it a habit picking them up at garage sales and flea markets when Id see new in package one.

Whichever can opener you girls decide upon it is imperative that it be color-co-ordinated with the rest of your kitchen.

When we got married, fifty years ago, we got one of those Ecko can openers with the bottle opener on the handle. I think it cost about two bucks. It opened cans in our kitchens for about thirty years until it broke. Since then, we have purchased openers of all descriptions and each one works really well; for about 2 months. They are good looking, comfortable to hold, and, regardless of cost, they are a short-lived POS.
Currently, we are using a Vaughan Improved, Safety Roller opener which was in a box of camping gear I bought at a yard sale. I don't know how old it is but it likely sold for a buck fifty, new, and it works just fine. GD

We have used a manual Swing away for years, never a problem
Have a new spare just in case.

I've had this one for over 17 years at the house.... https://www.amazon.com/Oneida-7718-Can-Opener/dp/B00NFLJRYG

and two of these style of openers, one at the farm and one in the camp box for probably 20 years.... https://www.acehardware.com/departm...7v-aV_QNbgaAtDnEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

they continue to work great but about a half dozen times a year I gotta clean em good with a 3m sponge and spray some olive oil on them...they still turn with ease.

Well........................................DUH!

PS the solution to issues like that is to go eclectic in the kitchen decor. Yellow and Red painted cabinet doors, Avocado green fridge, stainless dishwasher, basic black microwave oven and coffee maker, blue curtains., green linoleum floor, and red friggen aprons and hand towel. That should about cover most of the spectrum, no?

Gotta have the avocado green monte carlo to match all that Magic Chef chit in the trailer.

Haha
