Best can opener

Over the years we have accumulated a variety of can openers. The one we always reach for is the Oxo Good Grip Smooth Edge Can Opener. It has a fat easy-to-grasp handle. It is one of those can openers that slices off the top of the lid from the outside, rather than from inside of the top of the lid. This way when you lift the lid off, there are no sharp edges. It is also the easiest can opener to use, taking the least effort to spin. However, it is now hard to find because Oxo discontinued it. The Kuhn Rikon Safety Can Opener is a decent alternative with a similar approach. It is not quite as ergonomic, but still better than the traditional style. — KK
