LPT: Start hand washing and drying your can opener and it will stop breaking
Food & Drink

My whole life can openers only lasted a few months. This is because I would toss it in the sink and dishwasher. If you hand wash them and dry immediately, they won’t keep breaking.

Life changing for someone on their third dozen I’m sure.

Edit: y’all go check yours right now, get some paper towel and get under that blade. Whatever you find you must eat and then come talk your sht here. Y’all hurting my feelings and shit now haha

Last edit: the Mainstays Professional Can Opener from Walmart is $12.97 and you people are absolutely bewildered that it doesn’t last me 30 years
