This works great if you don't need to seal the can again, but removing that lip is hell on can covers for stuff like pet food, so I had to go back to the old way of doing it.

Thank you.  I have a can opener just like that and have a lot of trouble getting it to work.  I will definitely try the blade on the side technique.

strawberry preserves? Or jam?

yeah - I tried it on a few cans with 2 different openers - wasn't very successful.  Looks great on paper. 

The can opener I bought at Kitchen a-la-mode only opens cans on their side.  Very easy to use and takes up less drawer space. 

I’ve got special can covers I use on opened cas. Made from waxed cloth.  Been doing this for years.

Sorry for typos
