I don't always but sometimes I noticed how gross it is, so I'll throw it in the dishwasher.
-
Nope! I have a special can opener that doesn't cut metal.
-
Nope! I have an automatic one and I just wipe it down every now and then. My MIL puts hers in the dishwasher after every single use though, so I don't know if there is a right or wrong way?
-
Most of the time. Every once in a while I put it in the dishwasher.
-
i wash mine every time I use it.
-
Depends on what i'm opening, but i rinse it out most of the time.
-
Only after dh uses it, cause he throws it in the sink among other dirty dishes. I put it back right away after I use it.
-
@bluestriped bee: Were you watching that episode of Good Eats last night? He was talking about how the can opener is often the dirtiest thing in the kitchen. Ew.
But I don't wash it every time. I usually look at it and if it looks clean, I drop it back in the drawer, but I probably should rinse it.
-
@chopsuey119: if it doesn't cut metal, what does it do?
-
And yes, I do. I usually throw it in the dishwasher, though I'm not sure you're supposed to do that...
-
i just rinse it right away each time and then let it air dry. hopefully that is enough!
-
@mediagirl: it somehow separates the lid by .. I have no idea how to explain it. Lemme find it online
brb!
-
Yup. I always rinse it unless stuff gets all over it then I'll wash it.

This is it!
-
I usually always rinse it off.
-
I will wash it once it starts to look gunky.
-
@mediagirl: My can opener has been getting rusty. So I should probably start hand washing it. I don't know if you're suppose to put it in the dishwasher, either.
-
I give it a rinse with soap and water after every use.
-
@bluestriped bee: you should look at the one I have. I've had it for 8 years or so, never washed it and it's as good as new
-
@chopsuey119: OMG, buying that right now! I love that you can recap the can! Genius!
-
I rinse it unless its tuna. Then I usually wash it
@chopsuey119: I've always wanted one of those! -
@katiew92081: this! ha, and it makes me crazy because it's always so dirty because it has been sitting with the dirty dishes, whereas it wasn't even dirty when he used it!
-
Yes. Then I let it dry before placing it in the drawer to prevent rust.
-
@chopsuey119: I have the same can opener! I love it. No , more cuts from opening cans!
I do rinse the opener sometimes.
-
Not very often.
-
Sometimes! LOL.
-
I rinse it sometimes. DH will hand wash it after he uses it.
-
No not usually.

@chopsuey119: @bluestriped bee: I have the same can opener. It's pretty awesome! I scrambled to get one after one of my coworkers cut through the flesh between her thumb and index finger while preparing dinner for her LOs. She needed surgery and her hand was out of commission for weeks!
ETA: I don't wash mine but it looks pretty clean =P I should probably start washing it...
brb!
