OXO Good Grips Smooth Edge Can Opener – Side-Operation for Safe, Edge-Free Openings

Experience a smoother cut with the OXO Good Grips Smooth Edge Can Opener

Meet the OXO Good Grips Smooth Edge Can Opener, a modern take on a kitchen essential. Designed to cut on the side of the can below the rim, it leaves a smooth edge on both can and lid. The horizontal action reduces contact with can contents, helping you keep your workspace cleaner and safer as you prep meals or stock up on pantry staples.

The cutting wheel is made of hardened stainless steel and stays clean, so you won’t carry gunk on your hands or food. A built-in lid plier lets you lift the lid without touching the meat or juices, which many home cooks find convenient during quick weeknight tasks.

Ergonomics are front and center. The oversized side-wind mechanism glides with a gentle turn, and the soft, non-slip handles give a confident grip even when your hands are wet or soapy. This model is largely right-handed, but its balanced design makes it approachable for many users, including those with larger hands.

Care and maintenance are straightforward: a quick hand wash after use is recommended to preserve the soft grip and blade edge. The product ships with a focus on durability and long-term use, backed by OXO's Better Guarantee, which offers support if you ever have an issue with your opener.
