Black and Decker Gizmo
Let’s face it; it’s virtually impossible to exist in the modern world without a can opener. Virtually every food, whether junk or organic, can be found in a canned variety for added shelf life. And it is for this reason that so many companies are clamoring to produce the fastest and most efficient can opener possible. There are hundreds of different manual can openers on the market – most of which are inefficient, prone to rusting, and simply not adequate, especially if you are cooking for a family.
That is where electric can openers come into play. These devices have taken the hand strain and time out of opening cans in kitchens the world over, and they seem to be evolving into better and more efficient appliances all the time. One of the most popular electric can openers on the market today is the Black and Decker Gizmo.
The Company
Black and Decker has been a household name since 1910, and has consistently maintained a reputation of quality and dependability. While it began its existence as a company dedicated to producing the highest quality power tools possible, Black and Decker soon expanded into kitchen appliances, and thereafter small kitchen appliances, which have taken the home and garden world by storm. Black and Decker has stayed true to its roots by constantly coming out with new and better products to make working in the kitchen more efficient, and the Black and Decker Gizmo is no exception.
The Gizmo
As convenient as cans are, getting into them can be troublesome and time consuming. This is exactly why the Black and Decker Gizmo was created. The Gizmo is able to boast that it is both portable and cordless, and that it takes up very little storage space. In addition, it is able to open a full thirty standard size cans on a single charge, and it has a magnetic lid holder to prevent nasty external gunk from making its way into your food.
Another great feature of the Black and Decker Gizmo is that the cutter assembly is detachable, which means that you can easily clean and sanitize it – even in the dishwasher. This is a great asset when it comes to overall food safety, because it means that you can keep your canned goods contaminant free, even after they are opened. Finally, the Gizmo has an automatic stop feature, meaning that once your can is completely open, the unit switches itself off – this can increase the number of cans you can open per charge, and reduce the amount of incidental wear on the unit.
