Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Kuhn Rikon Auto Safety Lid Lifter, Red
Customer Review: Sweet Can Opener! Instructions in Review
Summary: 5 Stars
OK, so this is a splurge item, but it's neat. It looks awesome, it works well, and it's very clean. re-closeable cans are so useful! I use this opener all the time and I love it.
My one complaint is that finding instructions are very difficult if you can't watch the flash animation on the company's website. So for all the people trying to figure out how to use the Kuhn Rikon Auto Safety Lid Lifter can opener, here goes:
First, adjust the turnable handle to be parallel to the big handle. Then place the unit on top of the can, not alongside like a traditional opener. Position the Lid Lifter so that the rim of the can is right underneath the two protruding metal bits underneath the turnable handle. I don't mean the pincer thing on the right side of the opener - rather, I'm referring to the two protruding bits on the metal underside. One cuts and the other is round magnet or roller of some sort. Looking down, get it so that the edges of the can's round top are roughly even with the two little half-circle shaped divots in the main body of the opener. Those divots are specially placed to make this easy. Then once the opener is set on top of the can, with the handle pointing straight out perpendicular to the can and parallel to the counter and the divots lined up with the lid, start turning clockwise. You'll feel the little metal cutting bits engage on the top of the can. Keep turning, holding the opener parallel to the counter top the whole way. You won't be able to see a thing happening, but when you complete the can, you'll feel the turning resistance reduce. That's because you've cut the whole top off, even though you can't tell! Now turn the handle counter-clockwise, just a little bit (maybe a quarter turn) and that will disengage the cutting bits, allowing you to remove the opener.
To open the lid the first time, you turn the opener on it side and use the little metal pincer to grab the edge of the can lid. Push the white plastic button opposite the pincers, grabbing the lid, and lift 'er up. Voila - the lid comes off! It takes a *little* force sometimes if the seal is still vacuum tight. You can use the can opener every time, but after the first time, it's easier to remove the lid with your fingers.
It sounds WAY harder than it is, but it is honestly something you have to learn. I was seriously stumped, as was my roommate, until I figured out how to view the demo online.
Now start saving time and money by buying the big cans of tomatoes and beans and then saving the leftovers right in the nicely sealed can! The designer gets an A+ on this model.
Added bonus: blow your friends minds by asking them to figure out how to open a can. I swear, without instructions, it's really tricky! With instructions, it's really easy!
Description of Kuhn Rikon Auto Safety Lid Lifter, Red
With the Kuhn Rikon Auto Safety LidLifter it is now possible to open a can and never, ever touch the lid! All you do is place the opener on the can and begin turning the comfortable knob. The tool automatically locks in place. The tool cuts from the side leaving a rim smooth, not sharp or jagged. The tiny, strong jaws on the side of the opener remove the lid. Press down on the white button to close the jaws on the lid and when you are ready to drop the lid into the recycling container, just release the button. 7.5-inch RedCan Openers
