If you haven't already, you should also try an electric jar opener! It's the best thing not having to ask my husband to open jars anymore!
How fun! There seems to be a whole world of cool kitchen gadgets that I've never heard of!Ahahahhaa I love how you made a thread dedicated to your can opener. You should invest in the Black and Decker Gizmo. It's soo cute and rides around the can ahaha
