This is a great can opener...simple, affordable and safe.
This is a durable item, and the hardest thing about it is where to put the little metal ring so you can start opening the can. Instructions are included. This eliminates sharp edges and is easy to turn.
I have bought these for friends and work, after buying one for myself!
The Good Cooks Can Opener is an absolute help to cooking. You dont even have to worry about childern using it when they help out because its unique way of cutting open the can or cans leaves no sharp edges of the cut at all. Its easy to use and looks like the revolutionary kitchen can opener it is. I give it five stars.
