hey, so where did you get/how much did you pay for your can opener?
 

so i spent $10 each on 2 different can openers, both are too jiggly so they don't clamp, rendering them useless after 1x each.

they were the only 2 models available at my local grocer, i think i might have to check at the google for a fucking real can opener.


prolly gonna be what $20?

crazy. gonna be in for like $40+ for a fucking can opener by the time i get a good 1

Can opener? lmao...

Blows my mind that someone starts a thread about a can opener but hey whatever floats your boat.

I spent $25 but it was imported and was thus a rip off but they do not have normal ones where I live.

exactly!

answer the question claire.

i'm trying to get my post count up, mostly.

i'm behind a bit. got distracted by the can opener thing.

.05 cents, it was .10 but the Salvation Army store is 50% off on fridays. Same model the sell at Macy's.

now this cuisinart one for 14.99 might be the one

i have to mention that an adult has offered another adult $5000 on this board at this time just to show up face to face AND that person hasn't even taken the dude up on the 5 grand and somehow this thread blows your mind?

Mine is same brand just different year I think and black.

did you just run it through the dishwasher after you got it?

seems easy enough.

My mom has a can opener that opens cans in a way that you can use the lid to reseal them afterwards. I don't know how much it is or what brand, but it's pretty cool if you can find one like that.

Here's one that does that: http://www.cooking.com/products/shprodde.asp?SKU=185688

(although I'm sure my mom wasn't stupid enough to buy a $35 can opener - you can probably find a good smooth edge one like that at Marshall's or TJ Maxx for $5).

Actually I clean it the same way every month.

I let it soak a few minutes in a super diluted bleach solution in water and then scrub it with a toothbrush, rinse it off and put it back in the drawer.

Same solution I use on my cutting boards and such.

P-38 Military Can Opener

The best can opener ever made, it was given to me by the Army. :winkwink:

Funny thing is, I still use it from time to time.

THAT is a super can opener. using the top again is a great idea.

see, we have a chihuahua and buy him the good healthy dog food made in america, but it takes him like a week to get through a can, so using the top again would be perfect!

i should get one of those just to throw in the tool box.

i'm with ya on the cleanliness, got a sani-rinse option on the dishwasher and washing machine, claims to kill 99.9% bact.

i think my electric one was 20 bucks or so. its worked great for a few years now.

you can get an old school one for like $2.99...what's the point of paying more? You'd spend more time gearing one up to an electric can opener and opening it...than opening one manually.

(what is wrong with me for reading this thread and then even posting in it? ...back to making banners).

Moms bought me a electric as a gift years back..like 20 bucks or something

you didn't read this thread, or missed the part where i mentioned that i tried purchasing the 2 types of cheap can openers at the only place i frequent that has can openers.

it seems silly to go on a search for an even cheaper one.

my brother has this whacked out one, pisses me off, i don't buy cans anymore because of it, i need to get a good one

amazon.com and you can read reviews before buying.

exactly!:thumbsup

at times I have opened cans with a knife and a stone....but never really had issues with normal household openers...

Kitchen Aid. Black Handle. Bought at Target for $7 two years ago. Still functions like new.

I have this one

http://www.silvernutmeg.com/large/bigprod187.jpeg

had it for years, think I paid $30-40 for it, love Wusthof though, almost all my knives are wusthof

Good can openers are a rare gem hidden amongst a pile of rubble. I went through dozens of flimsy pieces of shit, then one day when I least expected it, I hit the jackpot. My can opener cost me 25 cents at the salvation army, I saw it and I just new she was the one for me. I was in love. I took her home, cleaned her up, gently stroked her smooth shiny handle. Then I popped her onto a can, and she cut through that tin with ease. It was pure beauty. We've been together ever since. 4 years strong! I love you Canny!!!!!

Sears.com - they have the good shit - well the good can openers

well, i HAD decided on that cool 1 that Viki mentioned but i did not realize all the choices - i didn't even know wusthof made a can opener! nice.

and who wouldn't hope for a Canny for their self? like a fav old t-shirt, i'd bet. besides, i miss that salvation army smell
that's Canny!

NEVERTHELESS< i am a serious sear's fan when it comes to the kitchen, i use several of the kenmore elite appliances and they perform really well. but i've never thought of getting a can opener there, tools for sure

decisions.

What ya'll need can openers for?

Everyone knows all webmasters eat is KD smothered in ketchup brought down the stairs by mommy. :1orglaugh

cant afford it.. i use knife. lmao

ya, burger flippers use spatulas....

haha great story and also nice to see another Salvation Army purchase.

PS. 1. The tin can was invented many many years before the can opener, Go figure eh?
2. Fold up some aluminum foil until you get a square about 3x3 inches and about 1/4 inch thick or as little as 1/8th when compressed. Run you blade though it until you have gone through entire wheel. This will keep your blade sharp. Oh it works for scissors too, just make assorted cuts.

Like 20 bucks, mine is by star fruit. Love it, it doesn't produce sharp edges

My humble apologies. It seems can openers are objects of beauty and lusted after by many gfyers :D

Kuhn Rikon Auto Safety Lid Lifter! best 15bucks I spent

Mine is from the dollar store, works great

it does seem like eithe going ultra cheap goodwill can opener or the gourmet chef pricier,
