New Kitchen Toy: Tupperware Can Opener + Review

One of the things I truly enjoyed after getting married and moving in to a condo 6 years ago was buying anything for the kitchen. As simple as a spoon or a new set of pots was a source of happiness. Haha! Was it pregnancy hormones? Or maybe it was a start of my being a tita?

Fastforward to today, the kitchen remains to be one of my favorite in our home. I don't really cook well but I like our kitchen to be pretty and neat. I was obsessed with plates for awhile (a lot of my friends know this!), I've stopped buying because I don't have a place for them anymore. Now, I'm trying to declutter fix our kitchen yet again. I need new pans! But here's something that has been in my wishlist for so long, a new can opener!!! And I was so happy when I received a Tupperware's Can Opener in the mail!

Tupperware's Can Opener isn't your ordinary can opener. Say goodbye to accidentally cutting your finger from lifting up that stubborn lid. I've scratched and cut myself a few times and the cut is usually deep and really hurts. With Tupperware's Can Opener, it lifts the lid away from the can and leaves no sharp edges after opening!

It looks simple but don't be intimidated because it's actually easy to use.

What I learned from this can opener is that, not all cans are made the same pala! Some didn't work with this kind of can opener like a can of pineapple tidbits, I had to use the normal can opener. I tried the can opener on a can of pork and beans.

Put the edge of the can in between the two circles, put the handles together and wind it!

When you hear a click, that means you can already remove the lid. But I wasn't able to remove the lid the first time (not reading instructions kasi!), I had to wind the can again for a second time and used a knife to remove the lid. I felt disappointed then I watched the video (you can see it down down below) again and that's when I figured it out.

The can opener has a small clip in front which you can use to lift the lid. TADAHHHH!

 See those smooth edges? Opening a can has never been more easy!

Different cans have different lids. So far I've been very successful on opening our canned good except for a can of pineapples which I had a hard time using this can opener. But other than that, I love Tupperware's Can Opener! I still have to convince our helper to use this instead of our old one because I seriously want to throw our old one away na. Haha!

Sharing with you Tupperware's video on its new can opener!

Afternoon Bites With Severin and Braun

You know you're a mom when kitchen and home appliances make you excited! I've been looking forward to this event ever since Mish sent out our invites!

An afternoon of kitchen appliance and cooking demo is something I can't say no to. When I got married, I had to learn how to cook or else we'll go hungry. The only kitchen appliance I know to operate back then were juicer, blender, oven toaster and microwave only! Now I have a coffee maker, coffee grinder, slow cooker, food processor, air fryer and I want more more more for my kitchen!

Loved the centerpiece and place setting!

A display of Severin: slow juicer, raclette grill and mixer

Our snacks were all prepared using Braun and Severin! How cool is that!

These Sweet and Sour Tamarind Fish in a Cup was a winner! One of my favorite dishes that afternoon. Must replicate it at home!

Severin Crepe Maker! We were all like "oooohh" "ahhhhh" when we saw this machine! Machine talaga? Hihi

That Lemon and Basil Refresher on the right is so good! So refreshing, perfect for hot sunny days!

Colombo Merchants, the exclusive distributor of Severin and Braun in the Philippines. Colombo Merchants started out in 1995 as a commission agent for Duty Free Philippines.

Mish welcoming the guests for the afternoon

Bev Campos, managing partner for Colombo Merchants, welcoming us!

All of the food that afternoon was prepared by Chef Redj Baron and he demonstrated how to prepare some of the dishes too using only Severin and Braun kitchen appliances.

I wish I can have all these appliances in my kitchen for convenience but my small kitchen can only accommodate a few appliances.

Didi got to try the Severin Crepe Maker and we ate what she made. Hihi!

You can even make your own waffle cone at home with Severin's Mixer and Waffle Cone Maker. Aylavet! You can now host a crepe making and ice cream party at home and I'm sure you'll be the star mommy of your kids's friends.

At the end of the event, we all picked a number from a bowl. This was the best part of the event! We got to pick which Severin or Braun appliance we want to take home! And this was what I picked.

I got the 3-in-1 Multi-use Sandwich Toaster! I can make waffles, wraps, paninis and more!

Thank you Colombo Merchant for having us! Happy mommas with our new toys! Woohoo! Thank you so much Colombo Merchant!

I was so excited to show this new toy I got to the kids! I made waffles the next day using Maya pancake mix.

Tip: Don't fill it to the brim just like what I did! Umapaw and it was kind of hard of clean it. Haha! Excited kasi masyado!

Tadaahhh! I love my new toy! I've made paninis and wraps with it. Y would always ask me to make her cheese and pandesal panini. She loves her bread crunchy!

Braun and Severin both has a wide range of appliances. Both offer great German quality and at reasonable price! Here's just some of their products for your eye candy!
