This post is a collaboration with Kitchen Mama. I received three Kitchen Mama can openers—one to keep, two to giveaway—for the purposes of this review. All opinions are entirely my own.
Good morning sweet friends and how is your week coming along? Did anyone take advantage of Amazon’s overhyped Prime Day and did you get anything fun and exciting (aside from toothbrushes and detergent)? This year I grabbed a map hanger (stay tuned to my stories because a cool personalized map is on its way), a sofa cover so we don’t have a patchwork of blankets to protect against pittie zoomies in our living room, and a really pretty rug for our bedroom (to which Bryan proclaimed “I don’t understand why we need a carpet to go on top of our carpet”). Everything else I purchased is totally lame ?
If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed a giveaway I recently shared for a really neat little gadget that every cook will need in his/her kitchen. Kitchen Mama is an easy-to-use, hands-free can opener that does the dirty work for you. Now you can say goodbye to manual hand grinding torture devices and bulky kitchen appliances that either take up too much room or are always hiding in impossible-to-grab cubbyholes (looking at you, automatic can opener). This cute little thing will fit just about anywhere—which is awesome since I have a very small kitchen to work in—just ask Newton. I captured his derpy little face as I was cooking dinner last night and the lighting was perfect. Also sometimes his lip gets caught in his tooth and it’s the cutest friggin’ thing ever.
One thing I really love about this can opener is that I don’t have to worry about ever chipping a nail (not that I frequently have manicures, but I just got one and can opening sometimes requires elbow grease). Since I spend a lot of time whipping up vegetarian meals in my kitchen (that often call for beans, corn, chickpeas, etc.,) I like to be as efficient as possible. I’ve used this product quite a bit over the past two weeks, and it works like a charm. You simply align the gear along the edge of the can (the magnet will hold the can opener in place), press the button, and watch it go around the can. Once it’s done, you’ll hear a soft pop at which point you press the button again to turn the device off.
Also–it leaves a soft lid! The first time I used it, I didn’t think it was done, until I carefully lifted the edge and voila. This is great for anyone who suffers from arthritis or is worried about kids in the house.
I’m giving away a Kitchen Mama can opener to one winner—simply enter the Rafflecopter below and good luck!
PS: Can you guess what we had for dinner last night? 🙂
Hi sunshine! This can opener looks amazing! I am all thumbs with most can openers I have to admit! I’m not sure if something is up with the Rafflecopter or it was a short one, but it says giveaway closed? I’m still going to check this out because it looks really cool!
All better now! And I would say I open at least five cans a week. I’d say more with cat food, but thankfully those are pop tops! LOL
I open at LEAST 20 cans a week. And this is amazing because arthritis is no damn joke and I have like 6 different can openers in my drawer that I pick from depending on how band my hands hurt. I’m 37 but live like I’m 73. LOL!!
This is SO cool. I don’t open too many cans, but I need to get better with meal planning, etc. so I’m sure I’ll start opening up more. The can opener I have right now is so old and difficult to use. This would be awesome.

I make everything from fresh ingredients right out of the ground so I don’t even know what this is.
I kid. How do you think I put beans on the table?
I probably open about 10. This would be for my mother who has arthritis and has dexterity issues. She loves her tuna salad and soup.
It really depends on the sale flyers for the week. If canned veggies are dirt cheap, we may open two cans a day.
I still have one of those cheapy survival kit looking can openers in my kitchen drawer that I have to reset the position on every two to three turns of the crank. Haha!! Lately I’ve been turning to cans of soup for dinner out of convenience since my son is away at his Grandma’s house for vacation. This is a great giveaway and product I’d love to have in my kitchen. Thanks for hosting!
I open a few cans a week. But my hands and wrists are a little jealous right now because my current opener is a bear! A very stubborn one! LOL . This looks like something I need in my drawer for sure!
I open about 5 cans a week.
