How do you easily open a tin can using a spoon?
Those who love to go camping or those who like to prepare dinner outdoors know perfectly well that opening a can without a can opener is not an easy task. Although some types of cans have a pull tab on the top , most cans are difficult to open due to the lack of this tab.
If you camp outdoors, you can sponge the tin can onto a paving stone. However, if you camp in the middle of a forest, it will be impossible to find a paving stone to do so. Fortunately, you should know that there is a miracle method to open the can without the help of a can opener . What you need is simply a spoon.
Position the can to be opened at the right angle. Then, use the spoon to make an opening in the top of the can. Push the spoon from top to bottom, always pressing in the same point and continue until you get a small crack. Then, widen the opening by gently pushing the spoon along the edge of the can through the aluminum lid.
