If I had known this trick before using the spoon as a can opener, it would have saved me a lot of stress and effort.

Struggling with a broken or missing can opener can be incredibly frustrating—especially during emergencies or while camping. Luckily, there’s a surprisingly simple and effective alternative: a sturdy spoon. It may sound like a survival hack, but it genuinely works.

This trick is ideal for outdoor trips, emergency kits, or those everyday moments when your can opener is nowhere to be found. While it won’t match the ease of a traditional opener, it’s a reliable backup that can save the day.

To use this method, place the can on a stable surface and hold it firmly. Then, position the edge of a strong steel spoon against the lid’s seal—where the top connects to the body of the can.

Rub the spoon back and forth with steady, firm pressure. Over time, the metal will begin to wear down, creating a small hole in the lid.

Once the first hole forms, continue working the spoon around the lid’s edge, enlarging the opening until you can remove the top completely.

This clever approach turns a common kitchen utensil into a practical emergency tool. It’s a reminder that resourcefulness can make a big difference when tools aren’t available.

Besides being handy, this trick can prevent injury from using unsafe alternatives and reduce the stress of the moment.

Next time you can’t find your can opener, remember: all you need is a little creativity—and a spoon.
