Can Opener Is A Convenient Tool
By Patrick D Kelly
Can opener is a handy tool to have in the kitchen. You can use
a can opener to open a variety of cans containing ingredients
to use in your meals. If you do not have time to prepare a quick
meal, then you can open a can of soup with a can opener. The soup
is often more nutritious than the fatty foods sold at fast food
outlets.
I had to recently decide if I wanted to buy a new manual can
opener or an electric can opener. I think that an electric can
opener would be the easiest to use, but I have heard horror stories
about the bacteria and dirt that can build up on it, and that
there is no easy way to clean it.
I have a few hand-operated models, but I can’t seem to find one
that works well. Short of not eating canned foods at all, I really
don’t know what to do.
Dust Mites And Other Micro Critters
My grandmother and my mother always used an electric can opener,
and I never got sick from either one. Perhaps, I am just paranoid
and I should stop reading things that I find about what can go
wrong with a simple can opener.
I also should stop watching shows about dust mites and all of
the micro critters that may or may not be infesting my home. Ok,
so I know they are there, but that doesn’t mean that I want to
think about it.
Electric Can Opener
I think I might review my options and buy an electric can opener.
I will just have to make sure I do my best to keep the blade as
clean as I can, and to make sure that I wipe off the top of the
cans before I open them.
Because I have very little space in my kitchen I will probably
get one that can be mounted under my kitchen cupboards. That way
I can use it without fussing around with plugging it in and finding
a place to store the thing when it is not in use.
New Design of Can Opener With Better Safety Features
There is a new kind of can opener out there, and I see that it
claims it will not leave a sharp edge on the lid once you are
done.
It slips on the top of the can, and then moves around by itself.
If there is a metal can and a blade opening it, wouldn’t
it stand to reason there is a sharp edge somewhere, even if it’s
not in the same place?
Tomato Paste In A Can
Though I think it’s a nifty idea for a can opener, I don’t
see how it is any better than the ones I can get locally for half
of the money. You’d think this would be simpler.
The electric can opener has allowed me to quickly open my can
of tomato paste that I like to use on my soups and pastas. I don’t
like the sauce you get in a hot bottle as they seem to lack taste
and the brand I like only comes in a can.
Restricted For Time
If I have time, I like to make my own sauce, but these days of
time restrictions you do not always have the luxury to make your
own sauce, so I get the ready made sauce using my can opener.
I still keep a couple of hand operated can openers in the kitchen
with my kitchen tools, just in case the electric can opener malfunctions.
But it seems to be working well for a couple of months now.

Did You Know?
Thanksgiving is that time of year when families and friends gather
together to celebrate and give thanks for a year of life. It is
a celebration that has some very deep roots and though many people
commonly think the United States has the copyright on Thanksgiving,
that is not the case.
There are so many traditions associated with this holiday. Some
automatically think of the Pilgrims and the first fall they held
when they came to America. But Thanksgiving traditions can be
extremely wide and varied.
You do not have to stick with the same old turkey and stuffing
recipes that have been in your family for decades. You can shake
things up a bit and start your own tradition.
