RÓ§sle Can Opener with Pliers

(Designed in Germany)


After having a very inquisitive toddler (read: too curious for his own good) go through our kitchen drawers and pull everything out from wooden spoons to cookie cutters, peelers and graters! We decided to look at a can opener that was the safest overall (after putting everything sharp out of reach!). I’ve had all sorts of can openers from the old style can opener, the really old style one, to the newer style that I think was even called the Magican opener here in Australia (which cut the tin horizontally around the edge of the cylinder, rather than vertically and left a sharp rim around the top of the can) to the Smart can opener which fell apart after two uses (made of plastic and seemed promising at first) so I was never really happy with any of them. I decided to do some research to see if there was something better and I came across this one. It fit all my criteria: Safety can opener, no sharp edges, stainless steel, durable, never touches the contents. And bonus you can put the lid back on the can if you want to!


The RÓ§sle can opener with Pliers is hands down the best can opener I've come across. Unlike other safety can openers I've used in the past, the RÓ§sle can opener leaves no sharp edges anywhere. This feature alone sets it apart from the competition and makes it a must-have kitchen tool for anyone concerned about safety.




One of the standout qualities of the Rӧsle can opener is its construction. Crafted from durable stainless steel, it exudes a sense of quality and reliability. It has a good weight in the hands as well. This material ensures its longevity, and I am confident that I won't need to buy another can opener in my lifetime. 


But what sets RÓ§sle apart from other brands? Let's delve into a bit of history. Founded in 1888, RÓ§sle is a renowned German brand that has been synonymous with precision and excellence in kitchenware for over a century. With a rich heritage of craftsmanship, they have consistently delivered exceptional products that cater to the needs of both professional chefs and home cooks alike. Plus I also love the detailed technical data sheets on their website for each tool.


RÓ§sle's commitment to innovation and safety is evident in the design of their can opener. While other safety can openers may still leave behind dangerous sharp edges, RÓ§sle has perfected their design to eliminate this concern entirely. This meticulous attention to detail and dedication to user safety are the hallmarks of the RÓ§sle brand.



In addition to its safety features, the Rӧsle can opener boasts an ergonomic design that ensures a comfortable and effortless grip. It glides smoothly along the edge of the can, requiring minimal effort on your part. So minimal that it almost feels like it’s not even working properly. It’s only once you apply the pliers after you’ve gone around the can completely that you realise, the lid just pulls off really easily.

The RÓ§sle can opener's sleek and minimalist design makes it an aesthetic addition to any kitchen. It doesn't just deliver exceptional functionality; it adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to your culinary space (which is much needed in my house).


The RÓ§sle can opener has left a lasting impression on me. Its unparalleled safety, durable stainless steel construction, and the brand's remarkable history make it a standout choice among can openers. If you value safety, durability, and a brand with a legacy of excellence, I highly recommend the RÓ§sle can opener for your kitchen.
