Re: Can openers
I went to see one of my lovely clients , she's 89 , she'd bought a cheap can opener from the £1 shop. For days she could not open her can of prunes , asked me to try. This thing refused to grip or open the can , in the end I hammered at it with screw driver , we managed to get the juice out from the prunes which she drank immediately ,with a big smile said , "that'll get me on the loo".I suggested she bought a good one , which she did the next day.
Never worth buying cheap

Re: Can openers
Going back to the corned beef tins, I never had problems opening them. I did always chill the tin in the fridge, but doubt that was the reason for successful opening.Nowadays I can buy a vacuum pack for £1.
Tin openers? Oh er, I use the old fashioned type and one with thick white handles. The electric opener hardly gets used.

Re: Can openers
I'm on my third can opener in just over a year. Can't remember what the first one was, the 2nd I bought from Sainsbury's and opening a can was a scary pursuit..... the can never opened cleanly, lots of jagged edges and some cut fingers trying to prize the can lid open. Absolute rubbish they both were.I paid £6 for a Procook one and its brilliant. Would recommend it highly.
