OXO Good Grips Can Opener

No, this model is not dishwasher safe. To keep the cutting mechanism sharp and prevent rust, we recommend hand washing it with warm, soapy water and drying it thoroughly after each use.

This is a traditional rotary-style opener, which means it cuts into the rim of the can. While it creates a smooth operation, it does not cut the side of the lid, so you should still use caution when handling the opened can.

Once you have finished rotating around the can, simply press the button on the side of the handle. This releases the grip on the rim, allowing you to easily detach the tool without having to pry it off.

Yes, it is designed with that in mind. The oversized, cushioned handles provide a secure, non-slip grip, and the large turning knob requires less torque than standard openers, significantly reducing the effort needed to open a can.

The bottle opener is integrated into the handle, so it is always accessible. However, for safety and stability, we recommend using it only when you are not actively using the cutting wheel.
