The Kuhn Rikon Safety Can Opener opens cans without leaving any sharp edges. Unusually, it cuts around the outside of the can, making no contact with the food. A wiggle of the opener's little metal tongue sets the lid free.
The Kuhn Rikon Safety Can Opener is good for lefties as well as right handers. It works easily (you do hold it horizontally rather than at the usual vertical). The cutting method means no more fishing the lid out of the can, because it can't fall in to start with. This can opener cuts and rolls the edges for all can sizes.
Kuhn Rikon is a prestigious 80 year old Swiss company which began as an early pioneer in pressure cookers – since branching into award winning kitchen accessories.
