D-I-Y catering with Herrings In?

[Bev]

Many similar on Amazon too, or your local pharmacy.

Oh' I forgot, you plonked me.

[Bob Henson]

That's the one I use - not perfect, but it saves lots of little cuts from the foil.

[Bev]

Similar to the one I linked to but far more expensive from Amazon (though free delivery, if available) may equalise the cost

[S Viemeister]

Yes, that is an excellent gadget. We've had one for years.

[Brian]

ROTFL

Doesn’t the mustard overpower the fish? I like mustard but I’m not sure about it with fish.

[Theo]

It's a creamy mustard not a hot mustard, more like a mustardy white sauce than a vinegary hotdog mustard.

Wouldnt work with Lipitor, the pills are massive.

[Rod Speed]

I never ever get any cuts from the foil and don't use any tool at all.

[Andrew]

Just stab the lid with a sharp pointy object and release the vacuum. Lid should then be easy to remove.

The worst ones to get off are the lids of Sauerkraut by Hengstenberg (Sainsburys and others). Releasing the vacuum is the only way I can get the lids off these jars.

Cat food.

[Ian Jackson]

If a tin of fish has any internal pressure, I would be very wary about eating its contents.

[The Natural Philosopher]

Cats are very discriminating

[Bob Henson]

Maybe your hands are in better nick than mine - mine are numb and clumsy.

[The Natural Philosopher]

yes.

Nerve and joint damage as we get older is no fun when faced with 'childproof' packaging. My pet hate is blister packs for pills. You need a fly press to get some of them out... There's a real market for a very small press for pill popping.

[John J]

I remember the "Betterware" traveller who used to call a couple of times a year. Always had some "invaluable" gizmos. Rubber bottle top grippers, domed devices to press onto foil milk bottle tops without risk of poking a finger into the milk and other such stuff.

[Rod Speed]

None of the foil comes even close to cutting anything.

I do occasionally end up with a pill sized bit of foil, but it never cuts anything.

[Rod Speed]

Plenty of those around.

Works well with strong oily fish, as does horseradish sauce with smoked mackerel from a packet.

[Bob Henson]

You must be very special to have your own supply of drugs with different packaging from the rest of humanity.

[Bob Henson]

This one works well - Bengali style Mustard Fish. It's a favourite here.
