True story: When I was 12 years old and just starting to help my mom out in the kitchen, our old, manual can opener and I had a run-in that led to a sharp, jagged lid and a permanent scar on my finger. Manual can openers and I have had a strained relationship ever since. That’s why I was so excited to discover the Kitchen Mama Electric Can Opener , which boasts a hands-free lid removal experience with no sharp edges — say what?! This nifty gadget is on sale right now for just $28.99 (normally $35), plus buying it will earn you a $10 credit towards Amazon Prime Day on June 21. With this Amazon-favorite tool , you can say goodbye to sharp edges and hello to hands-free can opening. Yup, it took about two seconds before I clicked “Add to Cart.”

Using this opener is super simple. Place it on top of the can, making sure the blade and gear are on either side of the rim. Next, press the button on the top of the can opener and watch it do its thing, then press again to stop it once it’s cut along the entire lid. Voila! Your can is open, and all you had to do was press a button.

According to an Amazon reviewer (not me, I promise!), you can remove the lid with your hands, since “it left the edge of the can crimped in a way that avoids those sharp edges, which I personally have been sliced by several times.” And this can opener is not only safe for fingers; since it cuts along the side of the lid without touching anything inside, food stays free from contaminants.

An automatic can opener like this wonder is especially useful for those with disabilities or other limitations on their gripping abilities. One happy customer commented, “This is the bees knees of can openers!! I have arthritis in my hands pretty bad and using even an expensive manual opener had gotten to be too much for me. I did a lot of shopping before I purchased this item and I am very pleased.”

And they’re not the only one who loves the Kitchen Mama Electric Can Opener — with over 23,000 five-star ratings , you know it’s a find. All you need are four AA batteries, and you’re off on your electric can-opening adventure! To further entice you, Prime members who spend $10 on products from select small businesses (including Kitchen Mama) will be rewarded with a $10 credit to spend during Prime Day . So this electric can opener doesn’t just save you effort and band-aids, it saves you money, too. Pretty impressive, Mama.
