At first I thought it was a propane thing

Overgeneralization.
Walmart stuff is properly shit.
Oxo stuff overemphasizes aesthetics, but it generally works well. Worth it if on sale.

I have a different forum for cooking. You guys don’t want to see what that looks like

the swing-a-way classic that can cut either the side or top of the can is definitely the best, though the p38 is probably the lightest

that ain’t no swing-a-way!
Some of it is really good. Some of it is less good. The can opener is pretty good shartmo, but otherwise I tend to avoid their products with moving parts and have had good luck. The above stuff I fondled at REI today and it’s more than good at 50% off
I am curious but afraid to know. I’m pretty self-satisfied and self-motivated with where I’m at with cooking and don’t really need another forum irreversibly altering my kitchen brain

Atmo,
My main experience with oxo is a coffee scale that works really great (1/10 gram accuracy with a timer) but eats batteries. When I contacted them about a possible issue (killed batteries in two months when our other scale takes over a year) they just sent a new scale. Twice. So now we have three oxo coffee scales if anyone wants one.

The can opener is great and their 4" santoku is the greatest peanut butter and jelly maker I have ever used

I think I have that exact scale and have had to replace the batteries 2-3 times in the 18 months I’ve had it but I try not to let it “idle” too long, especially after seeing your posts lol

I have a cheap digi scale that uses CR2032 and it also eats them like candy. Plus it powers down far too soon for my liking, so I’m often tapping it to keep it awake and not lose my value/tare. Should just go back to an acoustic scale
many cheap electronic measure things like that use just as much as much battery on and off. see also: cheap digital calipers
re:canopener chat i like the sideways friends that cut inside the seam a la this friend
I get weird looks when I’m using my all clad on a camp stove. I take my knife roll with my chef’s knife and my slicing knife. I don’t take the end grain maple cutting board, but heavy.

yes, my verniers are even worse. but I’m too lazy to pull the battery from either consistently!
snow peak has a nice hard knife case that becomes a cutting board; I bet you could make one to fit your one or two favourite knives
