The can opener was a small part of a bigger idea.


The real impact came from canning; storing perishable items (usually food) in air tight containers (usually metal).

Due to Canning:

  • Surplus food could be stored safely
  • Seasonal foods could be available throughout the entire year
  • Easier to transport
