How To Choose The Right Can Opener - A Guide To Bonzer Can Openers

In any busy kitchen, speed and efficiency are everything—and few tools are as essential to that workflow as a reliable can opener. Canned food has long been one of the great conveniences of modern catering, but opening those tins day in, day out requires equipment that can keep up. That’s where Bonzer® can openers come into their own.

Manufactured in the UK by Mitchell & Cooper, the iconic Bonzer® has become a staple in professional kitchens across the country and beyond. But with several models available, how do you know which one is right for your operation? The key factors to consider are how many tins you open each day, the size of those tins, and the importance of hygiene and durability in your kitchen setup.

From the length of the shaft to the robustness of the blade, every detail matters when selecting a can opener suitable for commercial use. And while many bench-mounted can openers can be difficult to clean and maintain, Bonzer® has addressed this with a unique quick-release blade carrier, the only one of its kind, making cleaning and part replacement quicker and more straightforward.

So before settling for a generic bench-mounted model, look for the red knob that marks a genuine Bonzer®. In continuous production since the 1940s and constantly evolving, Bonzer® can openers now boast innovations such as dishwasher-safe components and anti-bacterial coated blades—helping to keep your kitchen running smoothly and safely.
