5 Best Electric Can Openers That Make the Job Easier

Most of Ree Drummond's favorite comfort foods like chilis, bean dips, and soup recipes like her 7-Can Soup, all start with canned goods. But opening cans with a regular can opener can be difficult and even dangerous (like sharp edges and broken pieces of metal, yikes!). For those reasons alone, it's worth it to switch from an old-fashioned crank opener to one of the best electric can openers.

In addition to safety, there are lots of reasons why a good electric can opener might be right for you. The top-sellers on the market often include useful features such as retractable power cords, automatic shut-off, and removable levers for easy washing. Specifically, these handy tools are great for people with arthritis or mobility issues, because they do all of the turning and gripping work. Electric can openers are also super-fast, which is great for cutting down on prep time in the kitchen just like your best food processors and food choppers. And they won't break the bank: All of the electric can openers on this list clock in at $40 or less. Read on to see some top choices for electric can openers (including one from The Pioneer Woman line at Walmart), and be sure to buy the one that's right for your kitchen.
