How to Open a Can with a Spoon (When You Don’t Have a Can Opener)
Stuck without a can opener? Whether you’re camping, in an emergency, or just can’t find one in your kitchen drawer, a simple spoon can save the day.
Though it may sound like a quirky survival tip, opening a can with a metal spoon is surprisingly effective.
All you need is a sturdy stainless-steel spoon and a stable surface. Avoid flimsy or decorative spoons—they’ll bend.
Place the spoon against the inner edge of the can’s lid and use firm, repeated rubbing motions to grind through the metal. With patience
and steady pressure, the spoon will eventually puncture the lid. Keep working around the rim, widening the hole until you can safely pry it open.
This hack is great for outdoor trips, power outages, or travel situations without access to full kitchen tools.
It’s also a cool party trick or teaching moment to inspire creative thinking.
Be careful—edges can be sharp. Use a cloth or towel if needed to avoid cuts.
In a pinch, this clever trick proves that sometimes the best tools are already in your drawer.
Next time you’re stuck, remember: a spoon and a little persistence go a long way.
