Made in the USA, it’s the trusted choice for professionals who demand efficiency and dependability. ## Description The Edlund 11100 Old Reliable S-1 #1 Manual Can Opener is a must-have tool for both commercial kitchens and home use.

Its easy-to-clean design ensures minimal maintenance, allowing you to focus on your cooking rather than on cleaning, while its reliable construction boosts productivity and efficiency. Item Details: Item Details: Nickel plated cast aluminum Rust resistant arbor New base with plastic insert Rated for up to 50 cans per day Made in USA Review: Great commercial can opener - Very easy to clean very sturdy easy to install Review: This is no flimsy household can opener! - Oh yes, our new 'Old Reliable' can opener lives up to its name. If you're tired of flimsy can openers that break after a few uses, or struggle with larger cans, this is the tool for you (keep in mind, it's industrial, not a little homeowner can opener). This thing is built like a tank. The plated steel base is solid and provides excellent stability, even when opening taller, heavier cans. I've used it on everything from standard soup cans to larger Sam's sized large food cans, and it handles them all with ease. The long handle provides great leverage, making the opening process surprisingly smooth and requires minimal effort. The cutting blade is sharp and precise, cleanly slicing through the can lid without leaving jagged edges. It feels incredibly durable and I have no doubt it will last for years, even with frequent use. Our old one did get worn out (high school's concession stand), even when we oiled it, it was stubborn, so, longevity might depend on how much it's used/abused. While it's a manual can opener, it's surprisingly efficient. It's much faster than struggling with a cheap electric opener that constantly jams or slips. Plus, you don't have to worry about finding an outlet or dealing with cords. Cleanup is also a breeze – just a quick wipe down and it's good to go. Take it from me, watch out for that 'tooth blade!' The only potential downside is its size. It's definitely not a compact utensil you can toss in a drawer. You'll need to dedicate some counter or storage space to mount it. However, the robust construction and performance far outweigh this minor inconvenience. The screws that come with it are short, so consider buying longer screws and adding washers. Cons: It can get a bit tedious since it's rather large. Lift it, and drop it, as long as the can is in the right area it will pop into it. Some of our smaller helpers find it a bit large. Overall, it's an investment, but a worthwhile one. If you're serious about your kitchen tools and want a can opener that will stand the test of time, this is the one to get. Highly recommended for chefs, concession stand workers, restaurants, and anyone who wants to say goodbye to a frustrating can opening experience. It's truly a reliable workhorse. ## Features - Proven Commercial Performance – Built for demanding kitchens, the Edlund #1 reliably opens up to 5,000 cans before parts replacement, delivering dependable performance day after day. - Durable 2-Sided Blade – Features a reversible two-sided blade that provides extended blade life and consistent operation. - Two Base Options – Available with either a plated steel base or a stainless steel base to suit different kitchen environments and sanitation preferences. - Designed for Easy Maintenance – Engineered for efficient cleaning and straightforward parts replacement, helping reduce downtime in busy operations. - Commercial-Grade Construction – Built with the rugged durability and reliability that have made Edlund can openers a staple in professional kitchens for decades. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0001MRZ1O | | Best Sellers Rank | #40,149 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #123 in Manual Can Openers | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Brand | Edlund | | Brand Name | Edlund | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 924 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00219810009114, 00663128111005 | | Included Components | Can opener | | Item Dimensions W x H | 8.75"W x 4.3"H | | Item Type Name | Edlund 11100 Old Reliable #1 Manual Can Opener with Plated Steel Base For Cans Up to 11” Tall | | Item Weight | 7 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Edlund | | Manufacturer Part Number | 1 | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Number | 1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Product Dimensions | 8.75"W x 4.3"H | | Size | 11" tall | | UPC | 219810009114 066312811000 256510111266 663128111005 219810001910 658250735014 256510211461 663128110008 700736802373 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Blade Material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** Edlund - **Color:** Silver - **Material:** Stainless Steel - **Size:** 11" tall ## Images ![Edlund 11100 Old Reliable #1 Manual Can Opener with Plated Steel Base For Cans Up to 11” Tall - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710hyV+qoFL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I have a stainless steel prep table on wheels. Will this mount to the side or end of the table? And is it difficult to mount? Thanks** A: It is not difficult to mount. There are instructions. You will need to drill holes for the mounting bolts; and I would use split washers to prevent the nuts from coming loose. You can mount it almost any place, wood or steel. If the prep table does not have wood underneath, then you might want to put a piece of wood there to strengthen and stabilize the can opener - if the steel is not heavy enough to resist torque. The bolts would hold both in place. You will not regret purchasing this can opener. It will do a great job and likely prevent injuries of cuts from lids. **Q: What is the difference between the Edlund #1 and #2? can one of them open larger cans?** A: The #1 opener is larger and opens cans up to 11". The #2 opener is slightly smaller and opens cans up to 7" tall. You can go to www.edlundco.com for all the information. **Q: Can you get a extra bracket for a second spot?** A: You probably can by going to the company directly. A restaurant supply store should have one used at a good price. **Q: how to change gear on Edlund can opener** A: how do you change the gear ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great commercial can opener *by D***N on November 7, 2025* Very easy to clean very sturdy easy to install ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is no flimsy household can opener! *by K***N on February 19, 2025* Oh yes, our new 'Old Reliable' can opener lives up to its name.

You do need a sturdy counter top to facilitate mounting the base, we have a large island with butcher block covering half which works perfectly. I’m a 35year retired firefighter and have been cooking for 60 years including all my time on the Fire Dept. I think just about every Fire Station in the U.S. has an old #1, and some are really old and still kicking. Compared to the cheaper knockoffs made in China the Edlund Old Reliable #1 has a unique cutting blade with an outside curve which forces the cut of the can top down and inward which allows for smooth operation with less effort, good for people with limited hand strength or arthritis, but use care removing the cut top, it’s sharp. Great for banquets or large gatherings like Churches and Halls.. ## Frequently Bought Together - Edlund 11100 Old Reliable #1 Manual Can Opener with Plated Steel Base For Cans Up to 11” Tall - Edlund KT1100 Knife and Gear Replacement Kit for #1 Old Reliable Can Openers - Edlund K004SP Knife for #1 Can Opener --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/7106464-edlund-11100-old-reliable-1-manual-can-opener-with-plated](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/7106464-edlund-11100-old-reliable-1-manual-can-opener-with-plated) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-20*
