Kuhn Rikon Auto Safety Lid Lifter, Red Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Some people open a lot of cans and have an electric can opener on their countertop or underneath their cabinet. Others like myself need a can opener only on occasion and don't want a tool that takes up more space than other more utilized kitchen tools. I was reluctant to purchase this Kuhn Rikon but since the company manufactures some of my favorite kitchen gadgets and pressure cookers, I gave it a try. The feel in my hand was appealing and I liked the selection of colors. I also found it on sale and I'm a frugal consumer. In the year I've owned this can opener, I've increased the number of cans in my home. I've started purchasing dog food in the can to give my little dog a spoonful with her kibble. I buy huge cans of tomatoes and make my sauce more often. Cans of tuna are opened more frequently, as are legumes.
Once you get the swing of how this operates, it is a cinch. You position the head of the opener at the top of your can with two little arrows at the edge closest to your body. You then turn the handle and the can moves around as it's held by the opener. As soon as you feel a little change in the momentum, your can lid is safely separated from the base of the can. Using the little metal clip on the side, you push a button on the opposing side and grab ahold of the lid, lift, and you then have an opened can, thereby exposing you to whatever is inside the can. It works on varied sizes and shapes of cans without problem and it remains clean. You will not be cut because there is no sharp edge. If you want, you can place the lid back on the can, but I only do that if I'm going to transfer the product into another container for storage. I haven't tried to use this one-handed, but it probably could be done by resting the opener on the can and then turning the handle. Because of the positioning of the button, an adept person likely could use this to lift the lid as well. If I'm in a rush, I sometimes just do that without the Kuhn Rikon anyway since the lid will easily come off. My only criticism of this tool is that it is a little large to fit in my silverware drawer, but then an advantage is that it has yet to be lost.
