INSTACAN Higher Torque One Touch Electric Jar Opener
Kitchen Accessibility, Seniors, Arthritis Assistance, Low-Grip Cooking, Everyday Food Prep
Overview
The INSTACAN Higher Torque One Touch Electric Jar Opener is a cordless opener that grips a screw-top lid and rotates it off with a single press. The adjustable jaws fit lids from 1.2 to 3.5 inches and jar bodies from 1 to 3.5 inches, and the unit stops and resets itself once the lid is loose thanks to its Auto-Off function. It is aimed at seniors, people with weak hands and anyone with arthritis, and it handles sealed and vacuum-sealed lids on jars such as pasta sauce, jam, pickles and condiments. Power comes from 2 AA batteries, so there is no cord to manage, and the 8.46 x 4.33 x 2.87 inch body is sized to fit a kitchen drawer. At the time of writing it sells on Amazon for $23.99 against a list price of $35.99.
