Kuhn Rikon calls this tool "Deluxe"... We call it Immaculate. It's magnificently crafted from polished, heavy gauge stainless steel with a big, strong, comfortable Santoprene-covered turning handle and impeccable attention to detail. Take the nicest opener you've seen and double the construction quality, it's that nice.

The Really Revolutionary thing about Kuhn Rikon's Safety Lidlifter, though, is how it works. Ordinary can openers cut through the lid inside the rim, but the Lidlifter actually cuts through the outside of the lid rim itself. So instead of getting gummy and disgusting like every other opener, the Kuhn Rikon remains totally clean because it never touches the food. This approach also means there's no sharp edge when you're finished. Integrated gripper jaws grab the lid after it's been cut free, and it goes into the trash without your ever touching it. The Safety Lidlifter is easy-turning, too.

You May Be Back... Pick one of these exquisite gadgets up for yourself and you'll realize they're also a lovely gift idea. Attractively presented in a clear cylindrical carton, the Kuhn Rikon Lidlifter makes a great first impression and keeps delivering for a long time. Overall length is 7".

Clamps automatically: Kuhn Rikon's Auto Safety Lidlifter operates on the same opening principle as the Deluxe Lidlifter (above) but has a one-piece polymer handle design and an ingenious mechanism that automatically clamps the cutting head to the edge of the can. 7.5" length.

The Hip Grip: Kuhn Rikon's Ergo Safety Lidlifter shares the same revolutionary and superior approach to can opening as their Deluxe and Auto openers (see above), in a funky new hand-fitting form! 5.75" length.

A Baker's Staple: Nothing's handier for dividing your dough, or scraping up the bits and pieces from your work surface. One of our scrapers is all-stainless; the other features a rubbery Grip-EZ handle. Both are 6" wide and ruled, which is handy for cutting to fit your pans.

Tongs with Manners: When you close these tongs and point them straight up, they lock shut — no more hogging space on the countertop or in the drawer. Point them downward and squeeze to reopen. Heavy gauge restaurant-grade stainless steel means they'll really lift some weight when you need them to, and you won't be bending them back into shape after every use.

Set of Three: Top diameters of 1.75", 2.25" & 3". Solid, stainless steel construction.

Innovative & Versatile Gadgets: If a magnet will stick to the bottom of your pan, you can set it on the new Kuhn Rikon Magnetic Trivet, and the trivet will stick magnetically to the pan. The high-heat resistant silicone pads can take the heat of pans coming directly from the stovetop or oven. The pads provide excellent grip even when used with nonmagnetic pans.

Two Sizes, both with Swivel Pads: Choose from large or small model... each has pads that swivel to either the inside or the outside of the stainless steel frame for size adjustability. In the photo at left, the upper images shows the Small model with pads swiveled to the outside of the frame. The lower image shows the Large model with pads swiveled to the inside of its frame.

Cool Idea for Kuhn Rikon Duromatic Pressure Cookers: The bases of Kuhn Rikon's stainless steel Duromatic pressure cookers are magnetic, so you can just set your Kuhn Rikon cooker down on the trivet (right off the stove) and it rides along to your counter or table top... Slick!

Stubborn Lids Are No Match for this smartly designed new Kuhn Rikon gadget. A quick turn of the top knob brings three sets of tenaciously-gripping steel teeth to bear on the edges of the lid. Then the long comfortable handle provides ample leverage to easily remove even the tightest lids. Overall length is 9.5"; works on threaded lids from 1" to 3.5" diameter.

All-Stainless Steel Construction: Produces tremendous force with 60% less effort than ordinary presses. Grating plate swings out instantly for fast easy cleanup. 7" long. Dishwasher safe.

Chop with a flick of your wrist! Kuhn Rikon's new chopper is fast & handy. Pop an onion into the container & twist between both hands a few times. The onion is quickly reduced to a fine chop by hardened stainless blades driven by speed-multiplying gears in the lid. Provides outstanding control — just stop sooner for a coarser grind. Also works with shallots, pickles, olives, garlic, apples, radishes, mushrooms & peppers. Not for nuts or other hard foods. Measures 4.75" x 3".
