BAD NEWS this morning- no pineapples for my daughter for breakfast

We have one of those "top end" can openers-it takes off the top so there is no jagged edge
and my wife hasn't shown me how to work it

I tried to figure it out yesterday (on both sides of the can) no luck :grr:

This is no surprise, it took me two weeks to figure out how my sunglasses worked
Running/biking shades with vents at the top for body heat (highly recommended) and I could figure out how to change out the lenses
turns out the instructions were in the carrying case
:shrug:

1. I have one of those... and no I haven't figures it out either.

I just grab the manual one out of the drawer. (I feel like a freaking luddite)

2. Just attach it to the top of the can

and push the button. It will start on its own. When it stops, remove it.

3. Get the Dole pineapple chunks in the plastic jar with the lid

It has the same peel-off plastic seal that the snack cups use and keeps them sealed up with a screw on lid. Bonus: no can opener problems!

11. Heh, I was taking care of 9 pets for a family

and they had a can opener like that for the dog and cat food. It didn't seem to have a way to clamp on to the can. I had to look up instructions on the internet, too, and I'm usually pretty good at figuring out how things work. :blush:
