Does it hold & lift the top out of can while cutting? I need for coconut milk & really don't want to fish out can top out of milk anymore, yuck.

No, but there's a magnet on the front of the can opener (in front of the cutter see red spot in picture) that allows you to use the can opener to "reach" into the can once the lid is cut and remove it without touching it with your fingers. I didn't think I'd use it but I have and it works well. Just rise well between uses.

I can't get the magnet to hold the lid while cutting, but after it's cut, I use the magnet to fish the lid out instead of your fingers. There is a trigger that you pull to release the lid from the magnet so you don't have to touch it at all. Releasing it over the trash can works for me. This is a great manual can opener. You can't go wrong with it in my opinion.

No, this is strictly same as a regular can opener. It does not have a magnet to hold the can top. You will have to fish it out. I use tongs for that if I am opening up a can w/liquids. I would suggest you get an electric can opener. I have some arthritis and this can opener has been the easiest for me to operate manually over others... I am very happy with this quick can opener solution when you don't want to deal with an electric. I do notice that if it's solid food, such as dog food.. it will leave the top slightly tilted so you can retrieve it easily. No other can opener has done this so this opener is very well designed.

The entire cap can be lifted out. The black part you see in the image is the black rubber stopper that keeps it secure, but allows the dressing/oil/vinegar to pour through. There is a tiny spout on the very top - and I do mean tiny - which makes it more practical for very liquid dressings and not a thicker dressing like blue cheese.

Yes, it is made entirely of metal, so obviously you'd want to use a pot-holder to lift it off. Also, why would you want to press the juices out of your steak? Just rhetorical.

The top attaches to the opener with a magnet. After opening simply grasp the lid and pull away from the magnet. If you stop the opener before it has gone completely around the can, the lid may not come away cleanly without a section remaining attached to the can.

At first, the cap stayed on nice and snug. But now, for me at least, the cap is very loose and isn't strong enough to hold up its own weight, meaning if you have the knife upside-down in a cup or something, the cap will stay in the cup if you pick up the knife. I can't confirm that this will happen every time, however, because I've only owned the one knife.

There will be a significant solid chunk of coconut cream in the can (the good stuff!). This allows you to just use that for whipping or thickening foods but if you want the whole can, you can shake it but there will still be some chunks. I find a whisk will do a decent job but if you want a completely smooth milk, you'll need a blender, mixer, etc. to get it smooth. You can also warm it slightly which will also help blending. Hope that helps.

Hi! I finally got the blade off my can opener! There is a little lever that says "blade release" that needed to be pushed down, but, I kept moving the handle either too much or not enough while I pulled on it, but, finally, it popped off. Now if I can only remember how I did it for thenext time!! :) Thank you all.

I am on my second can, and have had no problems. I do notice that the opening of the nozzle is covered by dried coconut oil, but all I do is scrape it off and it works just fine.

I don't have a bullet but I doubt it would lift the lids off that. I tried taking a plastic lid off a 4" dessert cup and it just spun around. But it's by far the best opener I've ever used.

It is a top cut. The problem I have is with large cans that are taller than the opener.

No, the coconut is too heavy for this tool. It does not have a blade to assist in cutting the attachment stem.This tool is excellent for picking apples, oranges, avocados, limes and lemons. We found picking papayas challenging but possible.

I don't think so. I have to hold the can with my left hand and push the lever down with my right hand. I open big cans of dog food and they are heavy. The lever does not stay up on it's own while you try to position the can under the cutter. I think it would be very difficult. I hope this info was helpful.

There is a little piece of white plastic that connects to the underside of the top that keeps liquid from coming out unless there is suction. You can remove the white piece and then the milk free flows. I have forgotten to put the white piece back on several times after cleaning, then the milk flows everywhere.

I bought this for my husband, and he does all the feeding. I think you unscrew the center top and lift if off. If that doesn't work, email me back, and I'll ask him how it works. Thanks. Diane. Email me at ddw@srt.com.

Yes. It is very easy to use. It also takes off the entire top of the can so it minimizes the risk of getting cut.

I agree with "fish man". It will hold the lid open, but you have to push down to close it.

Not in my experience. Obviously the can *top* will be sharp, but the edges on the can itself are pretty dull.
