THE BEST CAN OPENER EVER!

hands down, THE best you've ever owned can opener!!!

As I get older (yep sure am), my can openers are getting harder and harder to use.  They barely open a can; sometimes I have to pry open the remaining section.  Other times I snag someone to open a can for me.  Pathetic!

Along comes the OXO GoodGrips, smooth Edge Can Opener. Who knew?   WOW!  It actually removes the lid below the rim so there are NO sharp edges.   Opening is now easy breezy.  No chance of cuts anymore.  As a senior, I will NOT starve to death!

SAFETY ALWAYS FIRST

 

Remember the 2 Hour Rule

http://www.health.sa.gov.au/pehs/Food/2hour-4hour-rule.pdf

Recently a very dear friend of mine kept calling and filling me in on the progress of his soup creation.  He was pleased and I was OH so proud of him and his turkey and vegetable combination.  Since he got started late in the day, he decided it would be for the next day’s meal.  Let those flavors marry!

I did hear from him again the next day.  He had turned the crock pot off and it sat on the counter all through the night.  He proudly told me it was still a bit warm that morning (hmmm can you count the growing bacteria?).  He continued to let it sit out while he went to work.  No worries, it would be fine?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be aware of the 2 hour rule.  I’ve been with more people that seem to be oblivious of this food safety principle.  This is one of the first rules we taught our culinary students.  When you let food out more than two hours YOU NEED to doubt its safety…”when in doubt, throw it out”.
