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.
