Can Openers

[shannone]

Do you prefer to use a hand held can opener or an electic one. This may sound silly, but I have never been able to use an electric can opener. I cant keep the can on there for some reason. I use a hand held one, but I have a problem with it rusting. Am I not suppose to put it in water to wash it?

Don't feel bad shannone, I can't use an electric can opener either.

I don't usually put mine in the water to wash it, but I do use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe it down good after each use.

Oh I have to use electric I have never had a problem getting the can to stay on

I don't care for the electric ones. They don't really save me any time or effort and they tend to get rusty and they take up space on the counter. I really don't need any more gadgets sitting around on the countertop.

I am glad I am not the only one who dosent like an elecrtic can opener. I have one, but I cant seem to get it to work right. I think I will put it in my next yard sale.

I prefer not to use electrical equipment for such a simple work.
I like handheld .

I prefer the hand held as of 20 years ago when the electric ones kept breaking on me------I look at it as wrist exercise which is important if you play tennis, racquetball, or open pickle jars that others hand to you because they can't. Ha!!

[phoenyxstarr]

I never thought of it as wrist exercise, expatgirl... but now that I think about it, your right. In my case, it really comes in handy for those sticky jelly jars. Kids sure don't know how to make PB&J sandwiches without getting the jelly everywhere, or at least my daughter doesn't. LOL.

electric ones are just so convient.

I used to love electric can-openers, but for the past five years, I've found hand can-openers to be fantastic.

Much easier to keep clean, for some reason.
