Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Zyliss Safe Edge Can Opener, WhiteCustomer Review: A Better Mouse Trap Summary: 5 Stars
As others have mentioned, this Zyliss can opener works in a completely different way than the traditional ones. If it bothers you to have to figure out and change how you do things, as is my wife, you don't want this. However, if you're interested in design and looking for a better opener, this is a great choice. I'll repeat what others have said but with a little different wording and description. I would say that the mechanism pries the entire lid off in the reverse of how it was put on. You lift the lid off intact, separated from the body of the can. The opener doesn't touch the food and there are no sharp edges. While it is dishwasher safe, this opener stays clean. Traditional openers cut through part of the can's top, leaving the lid's edge in place, whereas the Zyliss just takes off the whole lid.
Design and build are excellent: nice weight, good grips and easy to turn. I can't imagine that there is anything to wear out for many years.
Description of Zyliss Safe Edge Can Opener, WhiteOpens any shape can and leaves no sharp edges on lid or can. Operating from the top, not side of the can, and is hygienic because it never touches food. Specially designed metal clamp removes lid easily. For right or left-handed use. The craftsmen at Swiss manufacturer Zyliss continue their fifty-year tradition of creating durable, precision-made handheld tools for the modern kitchen with the Safe Edge Can Opener. While similar products merely cut the can open, this manual tool also enhances safety and promotes greater hygiene thanks to several innovative features. A unique safe edge cuts from the top rather than the side of the can. It reduces accidental cuts and scrapes with a clean cut along the seam of the can and lid that doesn?t leave sharp, jagged edges. A metal clamp securely grips and removes the lid from the can, eliminating the need for physical handling and increasing cleanliness and safety. The clamp also replaces the lid for short-term storage. The can opener adapts for both left- and right- handed users and is dishwasher-safe. Zyliss offers a five-year warranty on some products for defective parts and workmanship. --Jessica Reuling
