Chances are you’re at least familiar with the Pampered Chef name, whether it be from word of mouth or from a Pampered Chef party. From those same people who make a home presentation show fun comes their version of the hand-held can opener. The Pampered Chef Smooth-Edge Can Opener #2578 does what one expects of a can opener: with a twist of your wrist, that can of soup is open and ready to eat. However, what seems to set this model apart from others is the fact that it leaves the can’s detached top with a smooth edge which can be used as a lid for the can for food storage. Take a look at the photos below to see the smooth edge on the can.
For years, we were cautioned not to store leftover food in the cans they came from, but technology has advanced, and some canned brands feature a coating that makes it safe to use the can to store unused quantities. Plus, the absence of a ragged, cut lid’s edge means no chances of nicks or cuts on your fingers. This unit also keeps the lid from falling into the can’s contents. Overall reviews were positive, however, it should be noted customers had some difficulty learning to use this model.

Get The Scoop On These Pampered Chef Can Openers.
Customer reviews are a great way to research a product and find out if it truly delivers. Here are a few reviews from owners of the The Pampered Chef Smooth-Edge Can Opener #2758.
If you have a can opener toss it, this one is the best-leaves a resealable-loose lid that saves the product and no sharp edge, hard to figure out how to use at first but so smooth to use you think it’s not doing anything. There is a small prying clamp on side of opener pulls the top off and you can re-seat the top on to save the unused portion. I love it for the big cans of spaghetti sauce, cooking for two I pop the lid on and it saves in the fridge for another meal.
This can opener turns the top of the can into a lid that can be used to cover food for storage in the can. Years ago, cans were not considered suitable for storage, but now many cans have a coating that makes food storage in them safe. Not long after I started using the Pampered Chef can opener, the wall unit came down. The top of it could go into the dishwasher, but it was difficult to remove and replace the part. Using a can opener over and over without cleaning it becomes nasty.
