Removing the lid from a recently-opened can can be a delicate task of pinching and twisting to avoid sharp edges. By cutting on the side of the can, below the edge, the OXO Good Grips Smooth Edge Can Opener leaves no sharp edges behind. The side-wind knob is easy to turn and features a soft, non-slip grip. The sharp, hardened stainless steel cutting wheel does not touch can contents and stays clean, while the lid pliers allow for no-touch lid removal.
