The most common is the use of a knife. They stick it into the lid along the side and cut the jar in a circle. In the absence of a knife, you can use any sharp object, a screwdriver, a piece of iron, or break a spoon or fork in half. They will not be able to cut through, but you can punch several holes in a row and connect them.

To open canned food without a knife, you need to understand the structure of the lid itself. It consists of a tin plate, the edges of which are clamped by the side of the can. You can take pliers or a similar tool, grab the edge and bend it, several of these efforts and canned food are open.

If there are no such tools, then you can cope with the side by friction. You need to attach the can with the top or bottom side to the stone, to the wall or other hard rough object and begin to rub until the protruding edges are worn out, after which the can easily opens.

Of the many options for opening a tin can with two spoons and a slipper, the most interesting is the following. It is necessary to place vertically one spoon with the handle to the lid of the jar, top cover it with the inner concave side of the second spoon and hit hard with a slipper. After a short workout, you can punch a few holes and pick out the tin between them with the same spoon.

How to open a can without a knife if it is glass and has a screw cap? It is enough to hit with the elbow or fist in the center, after which the lid will loosen freely. If it’s a pity to spoil the lid or there is not enough effort to hit, then you can turn the jar over and drop it on your shoulders in hot water, and then easily open.
