Have used Magican tin openers in the past and used to be fine. Then I bought a Magican Auto which opens tins easily but refuses to release the tin lid. Had to get dh to fiddle each time to do it for me. Now even he can’t do it. If you look at the utube demos you only see the opening but not the release. Lakeland have stopped selling them. I also bought the normal Magican opener but this usually refuses to open tins of salmon etc. Bought a butterfly type from Lydll and that didn’t work. Need to open some more cans. Can anyone help?
This thread is quite old, but if you’ve landed here looking for advice on what kitchen tools to buy, we’ve recently updated our best can opener page with plenty of Mumsnetter-approved products, including both manual and electric options. We hope it’s helpful.
