This automatic can opener is so helpful and one of my favorite tools. It eliminates the hassle of trying to fit large cans under a traditional standing can opener. It is small enough to fit in a drawer which saves me space. Also when it cuts it creates a seamless cut along the edge of the can. Reducing the sharp edges and no longer having to lift a sharp lid. Lastly I can place it on a can and walk away to do a quick flip on the stove. Since it does all the heavy lifting for me. It is very easy to use.

This version fits over the top of most bowls so you can collect all of the vegetable cuts, mess-free. You can use the mandoline to make slices for ratatouille, dehydrated vegetable crisps, and julienned baked vegetables.

As a Registered Dietitian I often recommend an oil mister. They allow you to create a thin coating of any oil you want to use on your food! Much healthier, more affordable, and more environmentally friendly than aerosol non-stick cooking sprays.
