Can Opener
Features
Many can openers eschew Spartan
simplicity and indulge in as many modern conveniences
as they can manage. More power to them, we say.
Here are a few nifty features and extras to
look out for when you’re selecting you next
can opener.
• Auto Shut-off: An energy-saving and safety
feature that turns the can opener off when it
isn’t being used.
• Cord Storage Well: A compartment in the base
of the can opener that the cord may be wrapped
up and placed in to save storage space.
• Dishwasher-safe Detachable Can Opener Parts:
Certain of the can opener parts (usually the
cutting wheel(s)) may be conveniently removed
and washed by hand
• Cordless Can Openers: These either have a
battery (often rechargeable) or are simply manual.
• Hands-free/One Handed Can Openers: The function
of these can openers free up one or both hands.
• Built-in Knife-sharpener or Bottle-opener:
Just some Swiss Army Knife-style extras that
may save you a little counter space.
