Description

Kuhn Rikon Can Opener Leaves No Sharp Edges

Open cans cleanly and safely! Unlike traditional can openers, the Kuhn Rikon Auto Safety LidLifter® Can Opener removes lids without any contact with the contents of the can. It also prevents the all-too-common problem of lids falling into the can.

Helpful Hint: The lid lifter does not cut the can from the top like a traditional can opener. Once you start turning the knob, the cutting wheel engages from the side and cuts into the bead of the lid.

Product Highlights
  • Safer than traditional openers - device opens cans without cutting the metal on top, which leaves no sharp edges on the rim or lid
  • Designed for maximum hygiene and to prevent cross-contamination - opener never touches the food and lids won't fall into the can

  • Safely cuts the outside rim of can, not the top
  • Lids are removed via mini-pliers/pincer once opened so no handling is required
  • Also includes a handy ring-pull opener
  • Color: Red
  • Material: Plastic
  • Blade Material: Stainless Steel
  • Dimensions: 8" x 2-1/2" x 2-3/4"

How to Use the Kuhn Rikon Can Opener:

  1. Position the turning knob to point at 11 and 5 o'clock (2 gears underneath will be apart in open position.) Place on top of the can with two half circles lined up with can rim.
  2. Twist knob clockwise. The opener will automatically grip lid and begin to cut. After a full circle, you will feel less resistance. Stop turning - can is open.
  3. To release, turn the knob counter-clockwise. The can may not look open.
  4. Use mini-pliers on the side of the opener by pushing the button on the opposite side to operate. Grip rim of the lid between pliers and lift lid cleanly and easily.

Note: Don't cut more than a full circle. Over cutting may create burrs or slivers that could cause injury. For domestic use only. Not intended for commercial cans.

Care Instructions: Wash by hand in warm soapy water. Dry completely before storing.
