Look for can openers with large, cushioned handles and smooth-turn mechanisms. Locking or safety-style can openers are especially useful, as they reduce the effort required and prevent sharp edges.
Most jar openers are designed to grip a wide range of lid sizes, from small condiment jars to larger pantry staples. Some models offer adjustable or multi-size compatibility.
Safety can openers cut the lid from the side rather than the top, leaving a smooth, safe edge. This reduces the risk of cuts and makes it easier to re-cover cans temporarily.
Some openers are top-rack dishwasher safe, while others are hand-wash only. Always check the care instructions on each item to maintain quality and hygiene.
