Spoiled foreigners believe that domestic canned food, in the absence of a can opener, can only be opened with an ax. But our people are a lot of inventions and successfully cope with cans in three counts in amazing ways.
Instructions
Step 1
The most common is the use of a knife. They stick it into the lid along the side and cut the jar in a circle. If you don't have a knife, you can use any sharp object, screwdriver, piece of iron, or break a spoon or fork in half. They will not cut through, but you can punch several holes in a row and connect them.
Step 2
To open canned food without a knife, you need to understand the structure of the lid itself. It consists of a tin plate, the edges of which are clamped by the side of the can. You can take a pair of pliers or a similar tool, grab the edge with it and bend it back, several such efforts and canned food are open.
Step 3
If there are no such tools, then friction can be used to deal with the side. You need to attach the top or bottom side of the jar to a stone, wall or other hard, rough object and start rubbing until the protruding edges are worn away, after which the jar will open easily.
Step 4
Of the many options for how to open a tin can with two spoons and a slipper, the next one is the most interesting. You need to put one spoon vertically with the handle to the lid of the jar, cover it on top with the inner concave side of the second spoon and hit it hard with a slipper. After a short workout, you can punch a few holes and pick out the tin between them with the same spoon.
Step 5
How to open a can without a knife if it is glass and has a screw cap? It is enough to hit the center with an elbow or fist, after which the lid will unscrew freely. If it is a pity to spoil the lid or there is not enough effort to hit, then you can turn the can over and lower it on a hanger in hot water, and then easily open it.
