Just so you don’t think I like every single kitchen gadget out there, although I do like a good number of them, today I am talking about the Chef’n EZ Squeeze Can Opener.  I have had this can opener for a couple of years now after not having much success with the old hand crank can openers.  I have never been a big fan of the electric ones, so I use the hand held ones.  The best thing I can say about it is that it hasn’t broken.  These can openers are designed to be used with one hand, one very strong, manly hand.  I can’t imagine a poor little old lady trying to use this, her hand would get very sore.  The cranking mechanism is doggy to say the least.  The pressure it takes to get the can open is a lot more than what I would consider easy.  I find I often use two hands.  But like I said before it is the only hand held that has worked for more than 1 year for me, so I guess everything has positives and negatives. 

Do you have one of these at home?  Please feel free to leave your comments.
