T Guthrie 5 stars from me As a left handed, this can opener is fab! So easy to use and definitely worth the money Despite its modest looks, there are a lot of clever design features, including extra large, contoured handles for even pressure distribution, a non-slip cutting wheel and a smooth, chunky crank. It’ll get your tins open with minimal effort and faff. NatWest, RBS and Ulster Bank to close at least 172 branches in 2023/24 – here's the full list, plus alternatives You can pop this can opener in the cutlery basket of your dishwasher, which is handy. However, if you do this, dry it thoroughly after to prevent rust. In addition, the cutting wheels will need oiling occasionally.

In The Simpsons, character Ned Flanders set up a shop to recognise the plight of left-handed people. Named “The Leftorium”, it specialised in left-handed products. The Kuhn Rikon Lidlifter is called the Swiss army knife of can openers by reviewers, and we think that’s pretty spot on. It’s Swiss made, and has some truly impressive features, including an auto-clamping mechanism and mini pliers to lift the lid after cutting.Just 10 per cent of the world's population is left-handed and this has remained roughly the case for thousands of years. Men are also more likely to be left-handed. Christianity traditionally associated the left with evil through its description of a Last Judgement where the damned (“goats”) are sent to the left, and the saved (“sheep”) to the right. We would have liked to have seen some non-slip feet, but otherwise the build quality is good and it looks nice on a worktop. Now celebrating it's 30th official year, many left-handers head to social media on August 13, to share the challenges and inconveniences they face in a predominantly right-hand world.

From scissors and smudged ink to spiral-bound notebooks and impossible-to-use tin openers, the lefties' life struggle is real. The unspoken minority, those who are left-handed have felt this from primary school right through to becoming a home chef. The base has non-slip feet to avoid any accidents and it’s easy to clean, too. Simply pop the cutting mechanism out of the slot, rinse and return. While this might be a bit of a space-hog, it’s a fantastic can opener for anyone who struggles to use manual models, as well as for anyone who wants to save time and mess.Tennis champion Rafael Nadal switched to being a left-handed player - and there's a myth that his coach and mentor Toni Nadal noted it would give him a bigger advantage on court. The world was designed for right-handed people and us left-handed people can never eat tinned food because of it.
