This can opener works as well as Pampered Chef's smooth edge can opener for a fraction of the cost. The only problem, as it is with all the smooth edge can openers, is that other people who visit your home, don't know how to work it....

mags37337 says "Not a bad can opener, but it's almost 50-50 if it works right." about Good Cooks Can Opener

I purchased the Good Cooks Can Opener because it opens cans w/o leaving jagged edges. My daughter almost cut herself with the edges left by a conventional can opener and this seemed like it a better opener. The problem is many cans have such good sealant around the rim that this can opener can't cut through cleanly to leave the cover loose enough to lift up easily, so many of the cans end up looking like they've been pried open. It's also difficult sometimes to get the cutting mechanism to fit on the can lid properly. However, for the cans on which this product does work well, the edges are smooth and clean without jagged edges....

psycdi says "Oustanding, easy, and safe way to open cans." about Good Cooks Can Opener

psycdi — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 07:34:31 GMT

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!

richardchaven says "On retrospect, it's obviously the way to open cans" about Good Cooks Can Opener

richardchaven — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 05:02:22 GMT

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).

Rainmaker says "Simple, Safe, Inexpensive" about Good Cooks Can Opener

Rainmaker — Sun, 27 May 2007 02:13:35 GMT

I like a manual can opener. There is no power needed. There is no appliance on the counter or screwed underneath it. I also notice that many people do not clean the grime that builds up on their electric openers. That really makes me a little queasy. I've used a manual for years because I can put it in the dishwasher.

I was really excited to find this one. It cuts well and turns easily, but most importantly it cuts the side of the can. That has two benefits. First, the way this cuts doesn't leave sharp edges on the lid to cut small fingers or other unintended things. I recycle cans, so with this can opener there is no hazard to the recycle collector. The second advantage is that there is no contact between the blade and the food inside the can. I put it in the dishwasher less often and that has to be better for the longevity of blade.

There is also a craft project you can do with the use of this can opener. If you buy a can with a pull off top and use the can opener to open...
