Spoon trick: How to open your can with a spoon - a guide
If you are very hungry and you can't find an opener for the can, you can easily open it with a spoon. In this practical tip we show how this trick works.
How to open each can with a spoon
Whether fruit or stew, you can always get the contents of a can with a spoon.
- You will need a stable spoon and a firm surface. Start opening the can by placing the spoon on the edge - where you would normally use most can openers.
- Now rub the spoon tip over this point. Tip: Since you have to exert some pressure, it is best to hold the spoon as far down as possible and hold the can firmly with the other hand.
- Due to friction and pressure, a hole will soon appear at this point. Then place the spoon a little further on the edge of the can and repeat this process until you have drilled several holes in the edge of the can.
- Then you only have to use the spoon in the gaps to make connections.
- Once you have opened about two thirds of the can rim, this should be enough to fold up the rim. Practical: With the spoon you can immediately enjoy the contents, such as canned sauerkraut.
