I have used this can opener for years! I love it so much, espcially the fact that there are no sharp edges. It removes the top of the can so the edges are smooth.

My instapot is utilized a lot. Hard boiled eggs are so easy to peel when cooked in the Instapot. Another thing I love is that it can take frozen chicken breasts to cooked within 30 mintues. It is great at cooking rice and so much more.

I love using our soda stream to create drinks that are delicious and bubbly but I can control how much sugar goes into it. I also enjoy just having plain carbonated water or add a touch of lemon juice to make it tangy.
