Good Cooks Can Opener —
As prosaic as it seems, a better can opener can make the mundane a little more civilized.The can opener was invented decades after the can (before that, one used a metal chisel to open them). I supposed that until technology allowed a affordable precision tool, the gross and heavy-handed protocol of cutting the inner angle of a can lid was the best the mass market could enjoy.
This can open has a discreet circular blade hidden under a large, benign U-shaped ring on the side of the tool. Once the small grabbing wheel attached to the handle starts turning the can (seemingly without any resistance), this tiny blade cuts the side of the lid until, surprisingly quickly, one finds oneself holding a reusable lid with no sharp edges connected solely to the can opener and not at all to the can.
The contents of the can do not rinse over the the blade or the opener (piercing can openers are often the dirtiest thing in the kitchen). The lid fits back on the can neatly (although not securly).
