This safe-cut one costs about $18, which was $4 more than the other modern one shown in the video. I’m so glad I picked this one, the safe-cut works like magic, and the lid came out with the opener itself. Very clean and neat! Thanks for sharing!
I picked up one from Walmart about a year ago. It works great but since I don't use it often, I spend a good 5 minutes trying to figure out the correct placement for operation 😄 I was raised in a 70'/80's household with the mandatory electric can opener. Funny how they're almost obsolete now.
My mom doesn't even own a regular can opener. And if you say "can opener," she assumes you're talking about an electric one. I hate the things. They break, half the time they don't do a good job opening your cans, and the magnet can't support larger cans. A normal manual can opener works just fine for me.
Had I not seen you successfully use the thing I was sure it could not be done. The instructions that came with it were useless and I took ~10 minutes my first time, before I watched the video, getting just enough slack so I could tap the rest open with a little wall hammer. Thank You!
Thank you for this tutorial I have both kinds of can openers. The old kind kinda stopped working and I didn’t have any instructions for the other kind but thank you again I was able to use it.😊
Acquistato recentemente, ma ancora non ho imparato😅 dal tuo video forse ho capito perché... cercavo di aprire dalla parte della linguetta che ha la scanalatura più profonda, proverò dal lato opposto. Grazie per l'idea 😊
I just ordered one from Amazon. Can't wait to try it. Thanks for the hint about turning the can upside down when one has a pop off can. Just wrestled with canned abalone that started to open and I didn't have the strength to get it off. :-)
My family has some side can openers that we have gotten over the years, but we have had traditional and automatic openers as well. The blades on the latter two always got messy and were hard/dangerous to clean. The side can openers are now in use, thanks to your video!
I want one of these. Seems to be a good can opener. I got a tubber ware can opener & it does well but id like to have this one also. Thanks for sharing & the info
there great can openers i use them to make hobo stoves tinder boxs out a way to make a make shift can cook pot to boil water for survival its truly the ultimate survival tool no one talks about it my unsung hero
Nice video. You can also flip your first can open 90 degrees putting the twisting handle on top of the can and cut the side off just like your safe cut version. The Swing-A-Way brand is best and have used for 40 yrs. $10 and lasts.
Oh please don't feel that way. It took me many tries to get it right. They can be finicky, and it is certainly understandable if ultimately it's not the tool for you.
I use one of these to cut the can of baby formula to put it in a larger container. I'm able to get every bit of powder out this way versus having some left at the bottom due to the lip of the can.
I got stuck with one of these at a rental condo on vacation & could not for the life of me figure out how to use it or the Keurig. I also can't figure out the Single Wheel, Bunker, Claw, or Manual openers.
My girl bought one and threw away our old one… worst decision ever. Horrible product doesn’t work on any cans I’ve tried. Came here to see if maybe I was doing it wrong. Nope I did it exactly as shown in the video.
@@craigtorgerson9531I got a farberware one as well, it sort of acts as if it grips the can, than just spins and does nothing. My wife got it to work on one can. We spent 30 mins trying to open cans and finally gave up and used our old one.
How long does it last? All my can openeders last 2 months average and I only open maybe up to 2 cans a week. They all start failing. Teeth start wearing out then you have to squeeze harder and harder until it's completely dead. These new ones you are talking about, I've read the reviews on Amazon, and people say they start failing after 3-4 weeks. So if this also a problem with this style, what other option is there for a can opener that will last a year or more?
Good question and thanks for asking. So about a year after getting it I notice it’s not as easy to operate. Not sure if that’s just mine/me, but maybe apparently not based on what you’re saying. I do still like the idea of this thing and its benefits. Maybe there’s nothing such thing as the perfect can opener?
I think our one has a design fault, I tried using it to open a tin/can of Tuna, but it didn't cut through... Instead it just ended up making the top rim of the tin/can really quite sharp. My mum almost cut her finger on it
So I purchased that one in Belgium and it seems to have walked away from my kitchen (possibly in move?), meaning I don’t have a link to the exact one in video. That said, if you search for “side cut can opener” on Amazon, etc., plenty come up. I would probably go with one that has the highest reviews.
My electric version of the side cutting opener produced many thin metal threads today. They were very thin and had broken into lengths from about 1 cm to 10 cm. This was a can of beans and they were difficult to see. Beware. I am going back to the a top cutter.
@@pamela9163 not the ones that you leaver, the ones that have cogs and a you twist/turn, by placing it horizontal on top of the can, pierce the side of the can under the lid, keeping the opener flat on top of the lid.
That’s unfortunate. I know there was a bit of learning curve in my experience, but in the end you need to use what works best for you. Thanks for watching and happy cooking!
@@lachonayunabotella4703 My can opener works just fine (it's the electric version of this however). I know it's frustrating for sure, but it is not fair to accuse him of spreading lies.
I just bought one of these and they suck. I went around the can 5 and 6 times and couldn’t get the lid off even with pliers. Doesn’t cut all the way through. 👎🏻
It’s definitely a learning curve, and keep in mind that these don’t “cut” (or make a puncture sound) like ordinary can openers. And if all else fails, maybe just return it. Cheers.
Dude, you've got to add a warning for stupid people like me. Had just bought one of these tin openers and came to your video to see how to use it. My tin was like yours, though the tag had fallen off. Saw your tip to open it on the other end and thought that must be why it's not working. Had just finished opening the other end when boom! It all fell out the bottom. Guess I know it expect it next time at least!
I've been the head ccok around here for over 40 years. I've been trying for TWO YEARS to figure out how to use a side cutter opener. No luck. Your video did nothing whatsoever to explain how to really use the thing. I do it exactly as you appear to be doing it. I may as well try to open it with a yoyo. thanks anyway. I guess I'm just missing something here.
So, you must have been busy scrolling or texting and not paying attention. However, it takes some skill to do some things.......... sort surprises me that you were the "head" cook anywhere! Really!
I'd love to see one of these garbage channels read the instructions and actually showcase the "take off" feature the openers have - you shouldnt need to take it off the can, it should come off with the lid
Hi. In case you missed it, this garbage channel did exactly that in the video: demoed the opener taking off the lid, as well as noting that feature. You can find that at 3:27 in the video. Best regards.
Unbelievable .. over 6 minutes just to show how to use a side-cutting can opener. Something tells me that it took about 5 minutes longer than it could have to explain how to use this style of can opener. Why would you do that? Maybe you don't have enough to occupy your time so you thought you'd needlessly waste some of our time too?
For everyone who comes here to learn how to use the thing it doesn't start until 2:24 you are welcome
This safe-cut one costs about $18, which was $4 more than the other modern one shown in the video. I’m so glad I picked this one, the safe-cut works like magic, and the lid came out with the opener itself. Very clean and neat! Thanks for sharing!
I bought one at Temu online for 7€
I think we’ve gone thru like a dozen can openers. They just don’t make them like they used to. Time to try a safe-cut. Thanks!
These seem quite durable and have less moving parts. Win-win!

Used no more the one rotation cut!
I picked up one from Walmart about a year ago. It works great but since I don't use it often, I spend a good 5 minutes trying to figure out the correct placement for operation 😄 I was raised in a 70'/80's household with the mandatory electric can opener. Funny how they're almost obsolete now.
Ha! I see those older electric ones at thrift stores now and then - along with all those bread makers. 🤪

My god I just wanted to open a can not story time! Yes thank you, I got the can open.
Just want to say thank you for teaching me how to use this (flipping the can upside down) I was going insane thinking i couldn't do it
Glad to hear it helped! Thanks for watching, and happy cooking :)
That worked like a charm! Just needed to flip it upside down. Thank you!
I just bought one of these. Excellent. I find they are a little harder work, but worth it.
Excellent! Cheers 👍

Save your reciept. You'll need it to send it back when it doesn't work!

bought a swing a way recently and it lasted a year before it stopped opening cans smoothly
I felt so stupid when I had to go online to figure out how to use one of these type can openers. Still have trouble with them.
Oh please don't feel that way. It took me many tries to get it right. They can be finicky, and it is certainly understandable if ultimately it's not the tool for you.
I love the safe cut can opener. It has been a very good addition to my kitchen!
Trouble is it leaves the side of the can soft or easily caves in & bends.
Can't put can topper on the can.
Thanks!
Steve-O's looking good these days!!! bless up :)
Lol!
Unfortunately many cans use a gummy sealant which gets exposed when you open a can with the side cut.
Cans also changed from the original. They used to he made of tin which was way safter than the modern steel can...
I use one of these to cut the can of baby formula to put it in a larger container. I'm able to get every bit of powder out this way versus having some left at the bottom due to the lip of the can.
Great idea!
well explained thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Beware of can openers that leave tiny metal spikes.
most of your regular can openers will also work I don't know if you know that
02:24 it where he shows how to use it

I am really trying to work this thing, but nothing is working!
Mine must be absolutely broken. It not only is so hard to get started, it’s inconsistent and frays the can
yeah i still can’t do it
You've been using the first can opener the wrong way what makes it easy fo the other product to look better.
It just spins in place
I think our one has a design fault, I tried using it to open a tin/can of Tuna, but it didn't cut through... Instead it just ended up making the top rim of the tin/can really quite sharp. My mum almost cut her finger on it
Oh, dear! In that case I would suggest going back to using your tried and true can opener.
Unfortunately doesn't work on small cans. Still no access to the soup I wanted I like the concept doesn't work on all cans
Regular can opener does the same thing
yeah mine does not work

Skip to 2:30 for the actual content

These can be finicky. Maybe just keep trying, and if it ultimately doesn’t work, there’s always the traditional kind. (Or a hammer and chisel, lol.)

Yikes! I’d notify the maker, too.
😢 Be aware that side-cut openers often leave tiny metal shavings in the food, which can be deadly or even fatal if swallowed.
This leaves the can weak at the top and not as good for can lids
* A regular can opener can cut the lid at the the side !
How?
