Last Friday, ALL three can openers in my house decided to die within a five minute time span. They consisted of one electric and two of the ‘old fashioned’ models.

Normally, it would not have been a huge deal, but since I had to cook for an open house that was being held on Saturday I was a bit perturbed. Thank goodness for ‘open all night’ discount chains.

I’ve decided to invest in the Black & Decker Under Cabinet Can Opener, pictured here. Due to my lack of counter space, I think it will feel right at home. It is part of their Spacemaker collection that has been available for years.

It is currently only available in black, which means this under cabinet can opener will match other black and/or stainless steel appliances that are so popular, today. It is covered under a one year warranty.

This particular model features a bottle opener, knife sharpener and a bag cutter, as well. Think of it as the Swiss army knife of can openers.

Under cabinet appliances are so appreciated by those of us who have been cursed with a small kitchen. I’m still waiting patiently for an under cabinet sandwich machine and waffle maker combo!
