Oxo can opener, that cuts the can such that the inside diameter of the cam is "clear". It's awesome. I can user a scraper and get everything out. Buy one.

every time i see people recommending "old school" can openers, i cringe and have to recommend the "safe cut" or "side cut" can openers. They will last longer because they don't use crazy leverage to puncture the top of a can and a big honking blade that will dull easily. plus you have the added feature of being able to put the lid back on the can if you need to (its not going to re-seal it or anything but its better than no lid at all!)

any of these are going to be fine and last you a while. i have one from ikea i think

I have always loved OXO stuff. THIS is the can opener my girlfriend has and it is AMAZING. I cannot comment on longevity but it sure seems pretty solid. My parents have an older oxo model that I can't seem find on amazon but it has lasted them forever. The closest I can find is THIS

u/Untiedshu · 10 pointsr/LifeProTips

This is the one I have. It's expensive, but I love it because you can use the lid to reclose the can and the contents will keep in the fridge for a few more days.

You need to get you one of these - https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grips-Smooth-Opener/dp/B000079XW2 - or similar. No sharp edges and the cans can be reused easily. Nice fix, though...

u/ticktocktoe · 6 pointsr/BuyItForLife

Try these OXO smooth edge ones. I bought them about 6 yrs ago after having gone through about 3 openers in one month and being sick of it. I expect them to keep working for a long time to come.

u/h_lehmann · 5 pointsr/Cooking

I have one of these:
OXO Good Grips Smooth Edge Can Opener

It's worked great for years and doesn't leave any sharp edges on the can. For non-electric kitchen appliances I've always had good luck with Oxo.

u/RAGING_VEGETARIAN · 5 pointsr/BuyItForLife

So this is against the grain of most of the can opener recommendations I see here, but I really like OXO's smooth-edge can openers. My parents have the design with two arms, and I have this one with one arm. The two-arm one is better IMO, because the lid can get stuck in the one-armed opener after it's been taken off the can. But both are great openers.

Honestly all of the good grips stuff is super high quality and super comfortable to use. I own a few things from that line, it's all lasted beyond 5 years with only the most minor cosmetic damage (for example a tiny dent on a spatula handle because I accidentally left it in a hot skillet.) It's all really rust-resistant and the grips are super nice and super durable.

Plus, I like the smooth-edge openers a lot more than the traditional kind. If you've only used the more traditional kind of opener it can take some getting used to because it doesn't "feel" like it's cutting. But it takes the lid off in a much more pleasing and precise way and there's no sharp or rough edges on the can or lid that you can cut yourself on. Instead of cutting metal, I think they sort of peel it back and cut through the epoxy seal that glues the lid onto the can.

u/souldust · 5 pointsr/homeless

Forget the pull top and get yourself a CAN OPENER. Scour your local good wills or second hand stores and find yourself one of those edge can openers because it creates a lid so that you can close your cans again, but the lid has no sharp edges to cut yourself on. Like this:

https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grips-Smooth-Opener/dp/B000079XW2

I've been surviving on dollar tree's $1 can of beef stew and bolillo rolls from Kroger. So long as you keep your bag of bread closed they won't dry out, but they won't last more than 4 days.

Peanut butter, also oats. But really its all about your canned foods. Get mixed vegitable canned foods.

Dollar tree has your best price because you need to stretch out your dollar per day.

Your beef jerky is a waste of money because its not really good source of protein. When it comes to grams of protein per dollar nothing beats black beans, but, I ate nothing but black beans and ended up shitting my guts out so your next best source is canned tuna fish, or the $1 beef stews mentioned above.

As for your chocolate craving, good luck. m&ms won't melt, but they are expensive.

Best of luck!!

I've had this one for...I dunno, 5 years or so. Works as well as the first day I bought it, feels great in the hand, no sharp edges, etc etc:

u/Apocrathia · 4 pointsr/BuyItForLife

Fifthed. I've had mine for a few years now and it's still awesome.

u/wanna_live_on_a_boat · 3 pointsr/financialindependence

Nowadays, I tend to ask for consumables, because they get consumed.

You can also check out recommendations on /r/buyitforlife for great tools. It really depends on what you need or want to upgrade. For example, I love the OXO can opener. And I have a whole list of things like that, but it's hard to recommend them without knowing how you cook and/or what's already in your kitchen.

u/kdar · 3 pointsr/Cooking

If you're talking about this one then I have to disagree. I just threw mine out. It takes like 5 rotations then you have to pry the top off.

u/dackets · 3 pointsr/crafts

There are some can openers that open cans without leaving a sharp edge.

u/OldGreyTroll · 2 pointsr/Baking

Oxo Can Opener (Amazon) opens the can at the side instead of the end. I usually have to drive it around can 2-3 times to get a complete cut. But it makes a nice smooth opening.

u/LuckyAmeliza · 2 pointsr/Frugal

I never have much pf a problem closing and putting canned food in the fridge with an edge can opener

u/SunBelly · 2 pointsr/lifehacks

I've had this can opener for the last 16 years. No sharp edges, and you can even put the top back on the can like a lid for short term storage. Blades don't touch the contents of the can and it's dishwasher safe. If it ever breaks, I'm buying another one.

This one?

If you are worried about the sharp edges then get a can opener that doesn't leave them like this.

https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grips-Smooth-Opener/dp/B000079XW2

It takes the lids off by separating the seam instead of cutting the metal. leaves a smooth edge that is safe for your fingers. It also is a lot cheaper and should last a long time.

u/KrustyKritters · 1 pointr/drunkencookery

I was thinking more of the smooth edge style openers that don't cut the can, they release the factory seal.

Something like this

u/Anonymous999 · 1 pointr/BuyItForLife

This is a really old thread, but I recommend this one: http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grips-Smooth-Opener/dp/B000079XW2

I had pretty much the same problem as you. I had a can opener that had been going strong for 20+ years, but it was all metal and was getting rusted. I eventually threw it out and got another metal can opener. I tried to open a large can with it, and it basically crapped out on it. Frustrated that I had already thrown away my 20 year old can opener, I decided to get one that I would be able to keep for 20 more years again.
