Tuna fish based challenges

[Cuchilo]

I picked up a new can opener a short while ago and on making myself some tuna fish sarnies for today I notice that it cuts the top off the can rather than removing the lid . Now I have the problem of draining the tuna , with the old way I could press the lid into the can and drain . I really could do without tuna fish based challenges at 630 in the morning

Sieve. And then pop out to the nearest Poundland or 99p shop and see whether they've got an old-style one.

Press down the tuna in the can with a fork whilst tilting the can at an angle precisely 46.2866489 degrees over the sink

Thankyou . Any tips on reviving a spring onion ? Mine seems a little limp

At this time in the morning? Rub it with an ice cube in your hand. Vigorously.

Just don't cut all the way round with the can opener and proceed as before :-)

see the legend on the top of the can. It's a no-drainer

I saw a Tuna Top Tip recently - I can't remember where, but probably on the Beeb one Saturday morning. A blind tasting showed that people couldn't taste any difference between the tinned tuna from the same brand whether it was 'steak', 'chunks' or 'flakes'. An important finding, given that tuna steaks are twice the price of flakes.

You clearly have not used that type of opener!

I have one and have experienced exactly the same thing. The opener leaves the lid in place and there is no gap to pour the water/oil out through.

The best solution is to buy 'no drain' tuna, which is much nicer anyway. Failing that - lift off the lid and use a sieve on the contents of the can.

Speak for yourself, I'm always up at the crack of dawn .....

My can opener can be used vertically (to remove the lid the old-fashioned way) or horizontally (leaving the problem faced by the OP).
@Cuchilo, have you tried holding the can opener vertically?

i hope your tuna is line caught.
seriously, dolphin friendly is not marine friendly and nets are causing tuna stocks to plumet, line caught is better.

as for drainage, a sieve should do you.
