The best can opener comes from Japan and is only $7.50
On the ground with the future leaders of the restaurant world
When it comes to kitchen tools, Eater Young Gun Max Boonthanakit prefers simplicity. “I like cheaper things that get the job done with no fuss,” he says. His most trusted kitchen item fits this bill to a tee: It’s an old-fashioned Japanese can opener, that goes for $7.50 on Amazon. Boonthanakit is perhaps best known as the former pastry chef at LA restaurant Nightshade. While there, his playful, yet minimalist desserts, were hailed as. But he came across the portable Japanese can opener before all that. Four years ago when he was working at No Name bar in LA, a friend and fellow cook brought one into the kitchen. “I was obsessed,” Boonthanakit says. “I was like, ‘Give me this one. This one’s sick.
The can opener is eminently portable, thanks to its small size and the cheerful red color that make it look more like an accessory than a practical kitchen item. Boonthanakit also notes that it’s versatile. There’s a built-in bottle opener and, according to the chef, the can opener is great for opening small cans, as well as big cans, like the 10-pound ketchup cans that make frequent appearances at restaurant family meals.
