The Sound Of One Hand (Opening Cans)

Chef’n EZ Squeeze Can Opener

Two hands are better than one, but that doesn’t mean they should be dedicated to doing the same thing at the same time. At least when it comes to cans, there is a way to double your productivity. The EZ Squeeze Can Opener by Chef’n features a stainless steel cutting blade and a magnetic end for catching lids. The main highlight is its easy one-handed operability, freeing the other hand for doing other tasks like grinding salt and pepper, or opening even more cans. (As long as you’re right-handed with both hands or are into opening cans upside-down.)

Your $5.99 down the drain

Farberware Pro Tuna Press

I totally understand the rationale for the Farberware Pro Tuna Press to exist. A can of tuna is filled with oil or water; somehow that liquid needs to be removed. Of course, a tuna press! The only question that remains is how to remove the lid from the can of tuna when it drops down into the can. I guess by pressing down on it… that would then press out the water. Oh. Hmm…still, this useless kitchen gadget is a nice green color, isn’t it? I wonder what the semi-pro version looks like.

Emergency bacon in a can

Tac Bac - Tactical Canned Bacon

You know it isn’t very good for you, but you want it anyways. Not bacon-bacon, rather canned-bacon. Standard bacon must be good for you because, well, it tastes so good–but we already knew that. No, it’s the bacon in a can that draws attention here. Taste tests of similar design have not fared too well. (See this video review of Yoder’s Canned Bacon, for example.) However, the call of the bacon is strong, and as such we must have on hand–at all times–emergency bacon.

Tac Bac – Tactical Canned Bacon serves such a purpose. With a shelf life of over ten years, this emergency ration pack is perfect for those mornings when no other pork product will do. No longer must one endure the morning shuffle to the corner store. If the night before involved lots of drinking, well then, you understand that this is a must have pantry product. Just ignore the taste. And texture. And probably smell. But, hey! It’s bacon!
