The Can Opener
The can opener should be regarded as permanent equipment—not as a kitchen gadget. The average home probably uses a can opener more frequently than any other piece of small equipment in the kitchen.
There are dozens of makes of can openers on the market, ranging in price from ten cents to several dollars. Some are made to be attached to the wall—others are “hand” openers. Whatever type opener you prefer, you should insist on good performance.
