What is a Kitchen utensil used for thinly slicing vegetables?

A Mandoline. It consists of a flat "board" with a blade embedded at an angle, with the edge jutted upwards. The food is pushed along the base (often using a second piece, a hand-grip with sharp "teeth" that are pressed into the food to hold it, and protect the hand) and with each slide, a slice of the food is sliced off and dropped to the underside of the base.

The main advantage of using a mandoline is to create uniform slices, which is beneficial both for aesthetics and for uniform cooking. Using the hand-grip is seriously recommended as one slip is enough to slice of a chunk of skin.

The blade can also be supplemented/replaced with metal teeth that created long, thin strips (cutting along the vegetable's width and length at the same time). This is called julienning.

Who invented the modern can opener?

Can manufacturers of early cans recommended using a cold chisel and hammer to open their cans, but users rarely had such tools available in the field when they wanted to eat.

The first "can openers" were often whatever device that the person already had, typically a knife or bayonet. These "can openers" were improvised in their use and were usually less than adequate.

On January 5, 1858, Waterbury native Ezra J. Warnerinvented the first tool specifically intended as a can opener (not some other tool being forced into this use). This was the first recorded patent (US patent No 19063) for a can opener. However, Warner's can opener was not a tool for household use, because it could be dangerous. Grocers opened the cans before they left the store.

The first can opener safe for household use was patented by William Lyman on July 12, 1870 (US patent No 105346).
