14 best kuhn rikon can openers

Product description

A genuine all-rounder, the Swiss-designed 5-in-1 Auto Safety Master Opener from Kuhn Rikon is also a space-saver - open everything within the kitchen using a single gadget rather than needing multiple gadgets. Famed for its versatility, it incorporates a different opening mechanism for standard and ring-pull cans/tins, crown-cap (beer-style) bottles, screw-top (PET) bottles and jars. Suitable for all, including those with limited strength/mobility in their hands/wrists, the opener possesses a number of ingenious features that allow it to excel when dealing with cans/tins.

• Five separate opener functions within a single gadget - open standard and ring-pull cans/tins, crown-cap (beer-style) bottles, screw-top (PET) bottles and jars with ease
• Automatically attaches via ‘lock-on’ technology that grips the lid (no need to clamp it on) and long handle provides extra grip/leverage
• Designed to be safe (opens cans/tins without cutting the metal, which leaves no sharp edges on the rim or lid) and to prevent cross-contamination/maximise hygiene (opener doesn’t make contact with the contents of the can/tin)
• Lids are removed via mini-pliers/pincers once opened (no need to handle) - watch the video to see the Auto Safety Master Opener in action
• Easy to clean (wipe with a damp cloth; don’t put in the dishwasher). Dimensions: 9 (L) x 2.75 (W) x 2. 75 (H) inches

User questions & answers

Question:	Where are these openers made
Answer:	Like the other person said, there are no markings on the opener that says the country its made in. But the packaging does say made in China. However, this opener works very well and I would still purchase it again even after knowing that its not really "Swiss" made.
Question:	Does it work on oval shaped lids/cans
Answer:	Yes, quite well on oval shapes, in fact .
Question:	Does this have all the features of the Kuhn Rikon Auto Safety Lid Lifter, but just with extra features (bottle openers)? Thanks
Answer:	Yes, it has the lid lifter, the bottle opener, and of course the safety can opener. It is heavy duty, not flimsy at all. I've been using mine for about a year with no problem.
Question:	It specifically states "Dishwasher Safe" above; that's why I bought it. But the included instructions say to wash by hand. Which is it
Answer:	Have not purchased, but here's some insight on being listed as dishwasher safe while the instructions say to hand wash. Many things for use in the kitchen are designed to be dishwasher safe, possibly due to there being many people who will put stuff in the dishwasher without considering if it's ok to do so. Dishwashers are not gentle. They very forcefully spray very hot water on everything, and during the wash prob of the cleaning cycle a gritty substance is mixed with the water to give it scouring power to essentially scrape off dried, struck on food. The top rack gets less power being further away from the water source, which is why some things are labeled as being top-track safe. Because of how dishwashers clean, manufactures will almost always recommend hand washing, as it is much gentler, even if their product is designed to be dishwasher safe. Also, hand washing will almost always lead to whatever needs washing listing longer than if you use a dishwasher. Silverware and other solid metal things that don't have some special coating (like Teflon or the seasoning of a cast iron skillet) and aren't mechanical are about the only things that you don't have to worry about damaging, aside from possible discoloration.

Product description

Open your cans/tins with hygiene in mind courtesy of the Auto Safety LidLifter from Kuhn Rikon. Once attached via the automatic, ‘lock-on’ mechanism, the opener removes lids without any contact whatsoever with the contents of the can/tin. It also prevents the all-too-common problem of lids falling into the can/tin. The device is safe to use as well as being hygienic: it doesn’t actually cut the metal, which ensures that unwanted sharp edges do not remain on either the can/tin or the lid. After a full rotation around the lid - and a noticeable reduction in resistance - the can/tin is open (and no more turning is required). To complete the job, simply lift the lid from the can/tin using the mini-pliers/pincers.

• Designed for maximum hygiene and to prevent cross-contamination - opener never touches the food within cans/tins and lids won’t fall into the can/tin
• Automatically attaches via ‘lock-on’ technology that grips the lid (no need to clamp it on)
• Safer than traditional openers - device opens cans/tins without cutting the metal, which leaves no sharp edges on the rim or lid
• Lids are removed via mini-pliers/pincers once opened so no handling is required (see ‘Product description’ section below for instructions on how to use). Also includes a ring-pull opener
• Easy to clean (wipe with a damp cloth; don’t put in the dishwasher). Dimensions: 8 (L) x 2.5 (W) x 2. 75 (H) inches

The turning mechanism works smoothly for both right- and left-handers, and the soft turning knob provides a comfortable grip.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this all metal gears
Answer:	Yes, Wayne. The gears and cutter are Metal. The housing is made of Plastic. The actual cut occurs below the lip of the can creating a very safe cut instead of the more customary sharp tops we have all experienced. Kuhn Rikon products all have a 1 year warranty from the date of purchase and stand by their products. You should feel very safe about purchasing this as if you are unhappy with product, Kuhn Rikon will be happy to exchange or refund the cost.
Question:	Does this open pop-top cans? The tuna I like now comes in such cans and I really don't like them--much harder to open
Answer:	No it does not - I have been trying to find one that opens the Tuna Cans and cut the tops off the soda / beer cans with no luck. It is the best of the openers I have tried but not on the cans I wanted it to open. It may open some brands but not the tear off ones I have had. It did open a Goya bean tear open can.
Question:	Will this work on any size can
Answer:	It does work on any size can, however, based on my experience, I do not suggest that you use it on the largest can size. My can opener had been working fine for about 5 years. I do purchase large cans occasionally, and I noticed that the can opener would snap constantly when trying to open those large daddys. I now have to buy a new can opener because using it for the large ones affected its perfromance. So, my advice to you, and all out there, do not use it on the largest cans.
Question:	Does this cut on the rounded edge of the rim lip or below the rim lip
Answer:	It cuts just below the the rounded edge of the rim lip so that the entire top lifts off leaving no sharp edges to cut you and no metal shavings in the food. NOTE: It has a prying mechanism to lift the lid off, but as with other brands I have tried, sometimes it works beautifully and the lid comes right off easily,and sometimes you you gotta really work to get the lid off. But that's just the nature of this type of opener. This is the best one I've used; quality of build and function. Even when it frustrates, I still prefer it over metal shavings and the lid falling into the food. Hope this helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it really work on screw tops? Even laeger ones like peanut butter size
Answer:	No. While this is a fabulous can opener, I have found its other features to be of limited use. It will only loosen small caps like those used on soda (pop) bottles. Kuhn Rikon sells other products more suitable for your needs.

Answer:	This opener does not leave slivers of metal from opening a can.
Question:	Is this heavy or bulky

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the difference between this product and the kuhn rikon auto safety master can opener

Question:	Made where
Answer:	Switzerland
Question:	Is this anything like the pampered chef can opener? i had a pampered chef, but it's gone. can't use a manual cause i'm left-handed
Answer:	I think so

User questions & answers

Question:	Am I the only one who doesn't know how to use this jar opener? I only make ugly scratch marks on the side of the lid (from the metal teeth). Help
Answer:	You may have to let it sit on the counter top depending how bad . I've never found it to be emidiate. it should work .
Question:	Would this open nail polish jars with their small pointed tops? My daughter lets hers rest not her sides, and so it's been a problem lately
Answer:	It might; however, I think that it would require far more than one, soaking application. Two minutes alone would never do it, and instructions warm against extended submersion-time. Hence, I think it would require repeated applications, and that still might not be enough if it's stuck.
Question:	where is it made
Answer:	I think you can use it on rusty tools. I would think you need to soak the tools in it. I guess it depends on how bad the rust is. I think it's worth trying.
Question:	Does it open really big jars or mainly small and medium size ones
Answer:	I don't know, but it's pretty standard.
