Frequently Asked Questions
Can openers are essential kitchen tools for safely and efficiently opening tins in busy commercial kitchens. At IG Group, we supply commercial can openers for restaurants, hotels, cafes, schools, care homes and catering businesses.
What can openers do professional chefs use?
Professional chefs use different can openers depending on their kitchen and workload. Handheld can openers are practical for everyday tasks, while heavy-duty bench can openers are ideal for kitchens opening large quantities of cans during food preparation.
What is a bench can opener?
A bench can opener is a heavy-duty opener designed to be securely mounted or attached to a work surface. Its long handle and cutting mechanism make opening large or multiple cans quicker and easier, making it ideal for high-volume commercial kitchens.
How do you use a commercial bench can opener?
Place the can securely beneath the cutting mechanism and position the blade correctly against the lid. Operate the handle according to the manufacturer's instructions until the lid is cut. Take care when removing the lid, as cut metal edges may be sharp.
How long do can openers last?
A good-quality can opener can last several years, depending on how often it is used, cleaned and maintained. Commercial can openers may require more frequent maintenance due to heavy use. Replace worn blades or components when needed, and replace the opener if it becomes difficult or unsafe to operate.
