subject: Hands Free Can Opener Makes Canned Food Even More Convenient [print this page] When we consider that canned food was a revolutionary item in food preservation that enabled armies at war to keep battling on, it is amazing to think that we still use them today, and still view them as an everyday cooking essential.
You might think that this is exaggerating but I really don't think so. Canned foods form the basis of our store cupboard ingredients, and enable us to have quick, convenient and preserved foods. We all know how long it would take for fresh tomatoes to go off, but with tinned tomatoes they can literally stay in the cupboard waiting to be used, for years! Also, the cost involved in canned foods is minimal for the consumer. If you think again about the tinned tomatoes we use in a meal for example, like spaghetti Bolognese - you would have to spend a lot of money on fresh tomatoes for this dish, but with tinned tomatoes it really cuts the cost.
What makes them even handier and really suitable for our hectic lifestyles is that they provide a meal when 'we have no food in' - guaranteed you will always find a tin of beans or soup lurking at the back of the cupboard when you are in dire need of something to eat. It might have been there so long you have forgotten about it, but it will more than likely still be within its best before date!
The first tin cans that existed were so thick that they had to be hammered open - something that these days we could not contemplate doing! We like things to happen easily and without fuss or spillage. It's a good job that the can opener that we all recognise was invented in the 1870s. Of course since then there have been slight improvements to the design, most particularly with the invention of the electric opener in 1931.
Since 1931 there have been no major improvements in can openers, leaving some people in a bit of a pickle when it comes to opening cans. They prove difficult for those who are left-handed, or those who have limited hand movement, or diseases such as arthritis. Fortunately there has recently been a major development with the can opener - JML have manufactured a hands free one! Yes, you have read that correctly, and unbelievable as it sounds, it's very true. Due to the fact that it has automatic and electrical components, it works with a single touch action so you don't have to have a full range of hand movement or be super-strong to use it. It is so easy to use and produces no mess, spillage or sharp edges. It even has a magnet which enables you to dispose of the can lid mess free, and it won't take over your entire kitchen, as it has a sleek ergonomic design. You can have all this from JML online for the low price of just 14.99.
