Good Cook Classic Safe Cut Can Opener

 (27 customer reviews)

I've been using these can openers for a few years now.
They are easy to hold and use, and they open cans by opening the sealed top rather than cutting the cans open. End result is an opened can with no sharp edges.
I originally got one planning to use the cans for crafts with my children. We did some of that, making mini baskets with tuna cans, pencil holders with vegetable cans. Because they don't have sharp edges, it makes a nice safe craft with children. I've recommended them to crafty friends and non-crafty friends and bought one for my dad.
I'm so happy with this can opener. When I need to replace it, I plan to get the same kind.

I bought one of these at the grocery store, to replace a different brand that we've been happy with for a few years but finally wore out. The single handle was a little tricky to get used to, but once past that hurdle it worked great, for about a month. The behavior is the same as that described by the lady who has been using hers for five years, just VERY premature. I'm here on Amazon looking for a more reliable design that won't need to be replaced monthly.

What could be more prosaic than a can opener? Well, standard can openers harbor the most harmful bacteria in the kitchen (how often do you clean yours?)

The SafeCut can opener is the most obvious design for a can opener, at least in retrospect: it reverses the assembly process by un-crimping the lid.

Let me repeat that: it un-crimps the lid of the can. Without a blade. As it does not touch the food, it cannot contaminate it. As it does not cut the metal lid, it leaves no sharp edges. In fact, one can push the opened lib back onto the can's body as loosly re-sealed container.

It is elegent in its operation. It is safe for children and those with unstead hands.
