Not to be a negative Nancy.... you did good....

BUT when that can-opener dies... (and it will), get one of these http://www.amazon.com/Zyliss-SafeEdge-Can-Opener-White/dp/B000UERTYQ/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8

I don't have that same brand.... but the one I have (from Target) is the best fucknig can-opener I've ever had.. It's more hygenic too (that crud from the rim of the can doesn't dip into the contents of the can).

A decent can opener. The kind that cuts along outside the seam instead of the top.

My kitchen is pretty full of various devices. Let's see:

  • Asian hot water pot. I love tea, so it's nice to just hold the "dispense" button and get a mug of boiling water.
  • Speaking of tea, skip tea bags (unless you're using these for your own tea, which you probably only need for really fine stuff like chamomile). Instead I use this tea infuser, which works great for most teas. This one isn't very good at infusing tea, but it is really cute.
  • Prefer coffee? Get a French press; it's pretty cheap and it's way better than drop coffee. You just need a cheap coffee grinder so you can have fresh grounds.
  • Yes, I said a cheap coffee grinder. You can upgrade to a nice burr grinder later, and that will free up your cheap blade grinder for spice duty!
  • Asian rice cooker with fuzzy logic. I manage to burn rice on the stove, and the dumb mechanical rice cookers are no better. This thing is fantastic, and useful for more than just plain white rice. Mixed or brown rice, jambalaya, etc...
  • Toaster oven. I end up using this a lot, either to cook small meals (pizza bites, or breakfast (two slices of bacon, two frozen fried chicken strips, two frozen biscuits, 20 minutes at 375)) or for actually toasting things (I insist on toasting hamburger and hot dog buns).
  • Kitchen scale. I'm using a crappy spring model, but soon I intend to get a decent electronic one. Just read this article from NYT if you're not convinced of why a scale should be a must-have. I'll probably buy the scale suggested by Cooking for Engineers.
  • Microplane grater. I just bought it, and it rocks. Citrus zest, cheese, nutmeg...
  • Tongs. I don't know how I got by for so long without them.
  • Cast iron skillet. It's easily my favorite pan to cook in, because I can do so much with it.
  • Do you need a pepper grinder? Get the Unicorn 9" Magnum Black. Nevermind what it sounds like, just buy this one; don't even bother shopping around for others. It's that good.
  • Instant-read thermometer. I don't know if I recommend the exact one I have (a $20 from Taylor, which may have already broken) but having one is essential. Now that I'm using it I'm realizing how badly I was overcooking a lot of meat and sausage.
  • I have something like this "safe" can opener, which cuts the can open from the side rather than the top. The idea is that you're only cutting through glue, and so the blade never touches food, which is a big hazard for contamination since people rarely clean their can openers thoroughly enough. So this is great in principle, but not all cans are equal, and sometimes it just totally fails to open some cans.
  • Kitchenaid mixer. My mom got it for me for my birthday, and I have to say it's damn good, if you mix things a lot. Does a much better job than other mixers I've used. I also got the grinder attachment, which I've been experimenting with, so that gives the kitchenaid a bit more use.
  • Slow cooker. Shouldn't be any surprise there why it's useful.
  • Walmart's Tramontina stainless steel pans are about as good as All-Clad, but less than half the price. (Shocking! Quality stuff from Walmart?) I just got them so they haven't seen much use (see above comment about cast iron skillet) but I can already tell how nice they are compared to the bargain stuff I was using before.

But then the sharp edge is all around the opened lip of the can?

Btw, I remember these "safety can" openers like 10+ years ago that would wedge in between the seal and sort of pry the can open. All the edges were blunt.

Oh here, I found one:

I have the Zyliss can opener that works pretty much exactly the same (and is under $15, though I actually found one cheaper than that at Whole Foods - go figure). Really, there is no reason you wouldn't want one of these over a traditional can opener that give you can lids with razor-sharp edges. Highly recommend it. Seriously.

You can even replace the lid on the can after opening, so it's great when you open a can and empty half of it, and then just slap on the lid and throw it in the fridge.
