I must've opened over a Zillion pull tab cat food cans with just my
fingers and never a problem... in fact it's rather rare these days
that I need to use my Swing-A-Way... oh, I needed it yesterday to open
a can of sliced beets... were it spinach I'da just given the can a
Popeye Hug but beet juice can be messy. I don't waste the beet juice,
it contains lots of nutrients, first I sip some to make room, then I
add a small pinch of s n'p. a glug of vinegar, and a tsp of sugar...
instant pickled beets, and I drink every drop of the juice. BTW,
pureed beets and beet juce make for extra D-lish chocolate
cake/brownies. I never dump the juice from canned or heated frozen
veggies down the drain, I drink it or freeze it to use in stewps...
most of the veggie's nutrients are in that juice. Dumping the veggie
juice is tantamont to dumping your coffee/tea and eating the spent
grounds/leaves.
