I don\u2019t know about you, but every time I fish the lid out of a can like this I mentally prepare myself for a sliced finger.<\/p>\n<p>The OXO Smooth Edge openers use a totally different approach that results in a lid and a can that\u2019s very unlikely to hurt you. Instead of going through the top it comes in from the side and does this magical pinching thing.<\/p>\n<p>The first couple times I used it, I didn\u2019t trust that it was working because it\u2019s not the same puncture and rip process as a traditional opener. You clamp it on, wind it around the lid, and the use the little beak on the side to pull the top off. There are no \u201cpops\u201d or \u201cka-chunks\u201d, it just quietly unseats the lid.<\/p>\n<p>What you\u2019re left with is an open can and lid with a completely smooth edge &#8212; that much I assumed given the name.<\/p>\n<p>What I didn\u2019t consider is that the lid is left intact in such a way that you can just put it back on the can. I\u2019m doing so many less dishes now that I can eat half a can of something and just leave the rest covered in the same can instead of putting it in a separate container.<\/p>\n<p>It also leaves behind a nice, smooth can you can reuse for other projects.<\/p>\n<p>I also like that the whole thing is comfortable to hold and to turn. It\u2019s oversized and smooth, but not slippery. It doesn\u2019t take as much force as my conventional can opener. On the downside, though, it takes up a lot of room. It\u2019s a chunky tool.<\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s the OXO Good Grips Smooth Edge Can Opener. It\u2019s no more complicated than a standard can opener, but it gives you reuseable cans, and peace of mind. For me, it\u2019s a fair trade for its higher price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Best smooth edge can opener<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[26,2337],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30723"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30723"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30723\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30725,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30723\/revisions\/30725"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30723"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30723"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30723"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
