Can opener Hendi 856161
Technical data 01 / 02
This Hendi can opener cuts beneath a tin lid, leaving no sharp rim and allowing the lid to be put back when contents are used in stages. It gives a preparation station a dedicated hand tool for opening tins before ingredients are portioned or added to a dish.
Where it is used
At a café or hotel kitchen preparation station, use the opener when canned ingredients need opening ahead of portioning. Its blade cuts at the tin edge just below the lid, so the lid can be removed without leaving a sharp cut edge around the opening. Staff can then handle the tin during the next preparation step with less risk of catching a hand on a sharp rim.
When a task uses only part of a tin, the lid can be put back over the remainder. This is useful when the contents are needed across separate preparation tasks rather than all at once. After opening, the opener can go into the dishwasher with other utensils, keeping its cleaning within the machine-wash cycle.
Care
The stainless-steel and polypropylene construction suits routine use in a working kitchen. Stainless steel resists corrosion in damp conditions and is easy to keep clean, helping the opener remain suitable for repeated handling around food preparation.
Dishwasher cleaning allows the opener to join the normal wash-up load after use, rather than requiring a separate hand-washing task. This keeps it within the kitchen’s established utensil-cleaning routine.
How to choose
Consider the opener’s overall dimensions when allocating a place for it in a utensil drawer or at a preparation station. Its footprint helps staff decide whether it can be stored with other hand tools or kept close to the tins being opened, making it easier to return the opener to a consistent place between tasks.
Its low mass makes the tool easy to pick up and handle when tins need opening during a preparation run. The lightweight polypropylene component contributes to comfortable handling, while the stainless-steel component offers a corrosion-resistant, easy-to-clean surface for repeated kitchen use. Together, these material properties suit an opener that is handled regularly and cleaned as part of daily work.
