How to Use a Can Opener

Wow, and in 3:40 minutes, not six hours, you have taught kids, fed them, and even thrown in a Dad joke. You’re the best. ♥️

I see what you did there 😉 lol I'm very happy that you've decided to be the kind of dad to SHOW kiddies how to use these, especially mentioning the sharp lid-- instead of letting them grow frustrated trying to learn the mechanism on an empty stomach. YOU, are a good dad.

My father passed away when i was 4 and this channel helps me so much.

[@tonatiuhornelas1472]

He's an example of what a man should be. Wise, patient, and hard-working. It's a shame that we've allowed manhood to defined by the sports and alcohol you like, or the people you're attracted to. Men of old would probably laugh and cry at the current wretched state of men. Honestly though, all of these things are just virtues of any decent human being.

[@jordanbuckland2898]

I asked my dad the other day how to use a can opener and he said "you don't know how to use a can opener?! it's not rocket science." and he didnt show me. im like... how would i ever know when i wasnt taught! so, yes. thank you for this ❤❤

[@sharong8511]

Sorry but your Dad sounds like a jerk...

[@RebHead]

Yeah I hate it when people get mad at you for not knowing how to do something considered "basic" or whatever. If you weren't taught you weren't taught.

[@KentuckyGinger]

Hi Dad! Thanks for another helpful video. I wanted to try to express one reason why I like your videos so much. One commenter below mentioned how their Dad made them feel stupid for not knowing how to use a can opener. I think part of your appeal is that you don't make us feel stupid. Your tone of voice, eye contact, and mannerisms, are very conversational and completely without judgment. And that commenter spoke the truth that how can we possibly know how to tie a tie, change a tire, use a can opener, etc, without someone modeling or explaining how to do it. So, thanks for showing us some basic things without talking down to us or making us feel as though we should already know how to do them. You rock because you accept us where we are and your only goal is to lift us up. Thank you for that.

[@GGGhoulish]

the way such a lesson can be taught in a mere few minutes with compassion and tact, or it can be dragged out to a six hour long performance of frustration and condescension. this is a good video

[@KevLeaux]

bean dad is absolutely quaking right now

[@SEGASister]

So much so, he deleted his twitter account.

[@Amcsae]

Who or what is this "bean dad" people are talking about in the comments?

[@flipmaya]

@@Amcsae “bean dad” is this relatively well known comedian and podcaster who tweeted about how he (did not) taught his daughter how to use a can opener. His hungry 9 year old daughter came up to him asking for some food, he decided it would be a “teachable moment” told her to open a can of beans herself. She asked him how to use a can opener, and he insisted she figure it out herself and basically ignored his hungry daughter. The poor girl finally figured it out after six hours. This guy openly tweeted about this.

[@Amcsae]

@@flipmaya I had found the story already, but I appreciate your response! What a horrible way to handle the situation 😕😥

[@basictxssa]

I just heard about you and your channel, and I never do something like this but I just want you to know that you are so special and so kind for doing these videos. This is the most amazing thing I have seen in a long time and as someone who grew up without their dad to show them the basics it really makes my heart so warm to see someone like you, doing videos like this for people like me. You are so so special sir!!!! Bless you.

[@deej5884]

OMG! My friend and I (both in our 50's!) had to Google how to use one of those can openers several months ago! Glad we're not the only ones that didn't know how to use one! LOL. "Dad"... you and your family are awesome! Thank you for being there for all of us. 💜🙏🇺🇸

Not only did I see the perfect can opening technique, but I also saw the power of unspoken shade. Thank you, Dad.

Your videos mean more to me than you know. My father hasn't spoken to me since I was 16, im 24 now. He kicked me out at 16 and doesn't even want to meet his 2 beautiful grandchildren. Thanks for being my surrogate father 🥺

[@Kenthis15]

Hi Dad, So many of my friends and I were never told to HOLD THE HANDLE TIGHT, and had a lot of issues with the can slipping until we had to teach ourselves. This seems like such a menial thing to learn but in my own experience this lesson from a father would’ve saved many minutes of frustration.

[@Grimalkins]

I’m grateful you’re out there. I had bean dad x 1000. All narcissism and ridicule and zero help or support. I’ve figured stuff out myself by now - I’m nearly forty and live alone so I had to at some point, but I’m glad that younger versions of me have this stuff to come to because you’re doing what you do. As much as bean dad deserves the world laughing at him, it’s pretty triggering thinking of that little girl crying and going hungry. I remember what that felt like. Watching your videos always makes me smile, thank you.

[@aliciabeachy1148]

I literally was almost in tears because I couldn't get it and I'm hungry. My adoptive parents were abusive so I have zero communication with them and the brother that was adopted with me because he joined in on their abuse and my biological mother lives in Nevada and my roommate is asleep. It's great to have him in moments like these where I have nobody to ask.

There are many companies who now that make pull tabs for their cans, it's surprising how many people don't know how to use a can opener. Not just children but grown adults too. Thanks for putting this out there.

I wouldn't have chosen anyone else to make a video like this. You show it with so much care and not an ounce of patronizing. Good job, keep it up!

[@ThenosM_]

It’s weird seeing all the people who haven’t had to use can openers, but that just shows how important it is that you made this video. Thanks for another good one, Internet Dad! 👍

[@rukbat3]

The third can opener you showed is actually my favorite kind because when it takes the top off the can, it doesn't leave any sharp edges, so it's much safer! (The only drawback is that when opening cans of tuna, you can't use the lid to help drain the excess liquid.) It might take a little practice to get the hang of it, but the result is worth it!

[@kathleenhannigan2487]

Great teaching moment. Went through it many times while teaching foster children how to fix meals. I also showed them how to clean it with an old toothbrush to keep the gunk from building up and getting into freshly opened cans. How to clean kitchen tools and where to find the gunk on them might be a nice next video. Love.............

I never had a dad, he left my mom before I was born. When you say, "Hey kids!" it really touches me, thank you. ❤

[@jesslovesbess]

Just a note, make sure you go around enough to break the lid completely off the can! When I was younger, it was still hinged and I tried to pull off the lid myself and sliced my finger open.

I have an old (20+ years) Swingaway can opener, made in the USA, and that thing has never failed me. But if it does, I'm ready: I was able to buy another Swingaway, USA-made, right before they moved their manufacturing overseas. Those things are the gold standard for manual can openers. :-)

[@crocsenthusiast]

I still have my dad in my life but I don't see him often and when I do see him it's for brief periods of time. This really helps me out. I genuinely don't know how to do basic things and I'm nearly 16. Cheers man, you really help people like us out a lot.

Wonderful video! One helpful hint. We keep a strong magnet on our fridge. Once the can is open, you need to get the top out. The top has very sharp edges. Also if you tip the can at all, you can spill. So, we use the strong magnet to latch on to the top and pull it out vertically without having to touch the edges!

[@rdc3016]

Hey Dad, it’s very important to WASH that blade off with soap and hot water after use. The circular blade drops into the can and gets stuff on it. Often, the can opener is later returned to its drawer in the kitchen, not to used for a day, or two or three. There are numerous documented incidents of food borne illness transmissions traced to dirty can opener blades. Same goes for the blades on electric can openers. All they need is a little soap on a bush or dish rag, a few wipes and a hot water rinse. Thanks for ALL your videos and caring, intelligent advice.

Would also recommend squeezing the top of the can shut after dropping the lid in to reduce the chance of it falling out.
