FAQ:
Q: How does a can opener work?
A: The cutting wheel pierces the lid of the can and cuts through the rim. As the lever is pressed down, it rotates the cutting wheel which cuts through the lid, detaching it from the can.
Q: What type of can opener is best?
A: Manual tin openers are cheap, reliable and work well for most users. For those with arthritis or limited mobility, electric can openers are easiest to use.
Q: Can I reuse the lid after opening a can?
A: It is not generally recommended to reuse can lids as bacteria can grow in the crevices and contaminate the contents. The sharp metal edges can also be unsafe.
