[BlindTlk] something you probably didn't learn in blind rehab

[Jude DaShiell]

Electric can openers make sense in institutional cooking environments
where many cans need opening in little time.  The trick with them is
first to get the magnet stuck to the center of the can top.  Then get
the edge of the can into the gears under the cutter and be sure the can
is actually vertical not on any angle.  After that hit the power and if
the can doesn't wobble on the opener as it opens probability is high
you'll get a good opening.  If you barely touch the can as it turns that
usually prevents the wobble.

He wasn't usually like that, but somehow, he couldn't get the thing to take the can and track it right, or whatever you might call it.  Whatever he did broke that.  Pam.
