Culinare One Touch Automatic Can Opener

I've struggled with my old blunt can opener for ages, never considering there may be an easier way to open cans. However on a very recent visit to my Grandmother and seeing this in use in her kitchen, I ended up bringing it home at her insistence. The Product. The Culinare One Touch can opener is a battery operated tin opening mechanism. Made with solid white plastic you simply place the devise over a can, press the large button and the battery operated motor works the two blades in much the same way as an ordinary manual tin opener. A magnet keeps the tin lid in place, and the whole process takes around 30 seconds. It requires 2 AA batteries ...  Read the complete review

Originally an all-white affair available for the full retail price of £20 it has spawned a family of new offerings that feature soft-grip inserts for comfort in a choice of colours red, blue or lime as well as a rechargeable version for convenience that uses a charger rather the need to replace the pair of AA batteries, which are supplied with the opener, that power the other versions. The rechargeable version, available for the slightly-higher full retail price of £25, boasts that it is capable of opening a staggering 30 cans from a single charge. Currently, (January 28th 2009) the battery-powered versions normally available for around £20 can be secured for ...  Read the complete review

The Culinare One Touch Can Opener is one of those kitchen gadgets that you don't really need as such, but look kind of cool. I'm left handed and also not very good at practical things, so opening cans can be a bit of a nightmare for me. Ring pull cans are fast increasing on supermarket shelves, but is it just me or do ring pull cans seem to cost more? I have been known to struggle for 20 minutes trying to open a can of tuna, like a rather frustrated cat. This resulted in a very mangled tin, a cut finger and tuna juice leaking everywhere. Not pleasant! So I was intrigued by this automatic can opener lark and just had to try it. It's not the cheapest ...  Read the complete review

I dont know why but ive always had quite weak wrists and i buy a lot of tinned food for convenience (or maybe because i cant cook very well!) My tin opener that i used to use was a metal one that i had to turn myself and to be honest was a bit rubbish. It always used to hurt my wrists and i would end up getting my boyfriend (whos a big strong fella) to come and open tin for me. It took me nearly five minutes to open some tins with my normal tin opener and a few times halfway through opening the tin i would get frustrated and annoyed and try to rip the rest of the tin opened with my hand. This is not a good idea as i ended up with a few ...  Read the complete review

For most of us this is just another kitchen gadget, which we don't really need but just want to own. However I purchased one of these for my nan a couple of years ago and she has found it to be very useful. I was beginnning to get fed up of going round to my nans for dinner and having to hack the lid off a tin of beans with a can opener as old as God's dog. Every time I would say to her 'nan I'm going to get you a new one of these', and so I did. Unlike traditional can openers which can sometimes be a struggle to grip, the Culinare automatic can opener magnetically attaches to the top of the can and removes the lid with the touch of a ...  Read the complete review
