Recommendation/ tin opener
I don't open many tins but when I do I like an opener which actually works leaving both fingers and temper intact .My tin opener of 30 years standing (cheap metal butterfly) sadly died and I tried numerous replacement including the 'MagiCan Opener' which was a disaster and after a couple of uses mysteriously 'melted' in the draw
I now have an OXO Good Grips Soft Handled Can Opener which I can thoroughly recommend

have you bought one lately? Having had one for all those years I have had three recently bought from different places and for some reason they don't work, cheap imports I guess.

I hope you find it good too...

I don't use one very often so didn't want to lash out on an expensive electric one.

The Oxo cost £10. 70 so quality and value as well as something I can use when I need it most ,when the power goes off which happens a lot here in the winter. The old one cost me 99p and lasted 30 years.
