Requirements for a Good Can Opener
1. Open the can easily.
2. Open either a round or oblong can.
3. Leave a smooth not a jagged edge. (The better openers roll back the edge for perfect smoothness.)
4. Can be easily washed and dried.
5. The cutting blades so placed that they may be sharpened. (Steel knives in the kitchen need sharpening, but you don’t expect a cheap knife to stand as many sharpenings as one of fine steel. The blades of a can opener are steel knives designed to do a special job of cutting through the metal of a can.)
In addition to a regular can opener it is convenient to have an opener especially designed for opening cans of liquid, such as fruit and vegetable juices.
