I really do wish I knew the name and brand of the little tool for removing can keys. I cut my hand on a sardine can back when I lived in Ecuador. If I remember right, it had either mustard or tomato sauce that it was packed in, and that combined with sardine juice was not what I wanted in my cut hand.
By the way, the way to open them safely is to keep the fingers out of the way. Sounds obvious, but what I mean is that the fingers are c loser to you than the part of the cane being removed. The only finger that is anywhere near it is the one pulling the ring toward you. You keep the others down and forward or down and underneath. Or on the sides. When I have managed it, I had the can in one hand and held it in place with the fingers of the active hand. But I still hate doing it. -----Original Message----- From: Cookinginthedark <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Marie Rudys via Cookinginthedark Sent: Friday, July 31, 2020 5:57 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Marie Rudys <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [CnD] Is There a Secret to Opening Canned Corned Beef? I don't buy any cans with keys on them. A long time ago, I cut my hand on a can while trying to open it. It had ham in it, and to this day, I don't like canned ham. I will not even buy corned beef in a can. Marie On Fri, Jul 31, 2020 at 3:45 PM Carol Ashland via Cookinginthedark < [email protected]> wrote: > I hate opening those cans!
