First product review

I think it's appropriate for my first post to review a product I believe belongs in a museum. It's a can opener. And I don't just think it should be in a can opener museum, if such a thing were to exist, or even a kitchen gadget museum, which I would totally have a season pass to; no, I think this can opener should be in the Museum of Modern Art.




It's the OXO Good Grips can opener. The one in my utensil drawer has been mine for over 10 years. I even had a mini fridge magnet replica of it which broke because it was not of same the superior quality as the original. Everything about this can opener is perfect. It's manual, obviously, with a simple and perfect design that is just chunky enough to make opening cans almost effortless. Automatic can openers? I scoff at your loudness, and the way you take up counter space. This humble version is the perfect balance between minimalism and cushiness, and cats don't some running when you use it.
