Side cut can opener beside an opened tin and its clean lid

No Sharp Edge Anywhere

Instead of cutting through the top of the lid, this cuts the seam on the side. Both the lid and the can are left smooth, with nothing to catch a finger on when you tip the contents out.

The Lid Becomes A Cover

The lid comes away cleanly rather than dropping into the food, and because it is undamaged it sits straight back on to cover leftovers in the fridge.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a side cut opener?

It cuts the seam on the side of the can rather than the top of the lid. Both pieces come away smooth, which is why there is nothing sharp left behind.

Does the lid fall into the food?

No, it lifts clear. And since it comes off undamaged you can put it back on the can to cover leftovers in the fridge.

Will it handle large catering tins?

Yes. The gearing is heavy enough to hold the rim of a big tin as well as a standard one, right through the turn.

Does it open bottles too?

There is a bottle and beer cap opener built into the side, so it covers both jobs from the same drawer slot.

Does it need power?

None. It is fully manual with contoured non slip handles, so there is nothing to charge and nothing to replace.
