First introduced in 1931, electronic can opener may not be a necessity in a kitchen, but it is undeniably a useful tool that has many benefits. For instance, extra energy is not required to rotate the can opener since everything is electrically operated. It is time saving to use the electric can opener since the blade won’t stuck while prying the can. More space is now available in the utensil and cutlery drawer.
