My mother and my sister who has developed arthritis in wrists at an

I don't understand why people are so keen on openers which leave a lid
with a nice safe blunt edge - but also leave a tin with lethally sharp
edges!

My wife uses one and, in my view, the tin is far more dangerous than a
sharp edged lid.


If you have a can sealing machine, you want to take the rolled edge off,
so that the can may be reused. Not that I expect that there are many
people who do that these days.

I do still uses them a bit, mainly for the fat left over after a
roast lamb etc before putting the roast pan in the dishwasher.
