A can of tuna fish

[Armind]

Not until I opened a can of tuna fish today did I wonder how other people drain that nasty water out of the can. I think most people probably do it the same way I do it, but Im not sure. And if they do, I wonder if its something people just do because its obvious, or somewhere along the way someone showed you how they do it. Maybe Im the latter, but I can't remember. So, how do you drain your can of tuna?

[Dong]

Armin, you have too much time to think.

Come play WoW. I'll help you level.

[Gnioss]

you cut around the lip with a can cutter and then squish the tuna against the lid in a CAN VICE OF DOOM.

that's it! you'd think by now someone could come up with an easier way of doing it. I mean, now you have orange juice containers with nozzles, you dont have to fight the folds and make stupid bends on the top of the containers anymore. Gnioss, dont make any more suitcase bombs, make an easy drain tuna can.

[Gnioss]

sorry dong, can't log in, downloading this kewlie TV show I saw called BATTLESTAR GALACTICA

[Gnioss]

and armin, the modern squish out the juices can is a marvel of engineering. I WOULDNT REPLACE IT FOR THE WORLD.

[Dong]

Big downloads are to be done while sleeping. Come on.

Oh. Is JEFF over?

[Gnioss]

Dang, battlestar galactica is the best show i've seen, ever. It's like a little movie every episode, it's so great, you should all watch it.

[Dong]

Seen several episodes. Dong's helm in Corruption SB looked like it came from that robot.

[Cinnabar]

mmm tuna


ROXIE LET'S HAVE TUNA SANDWICHES

[Riley]

The new Battlestar Galactica is so awesome. I spent all day watching it Monday.

[Aradorn]

i dont buy tuna in a can anymore, only in a bag... Abercore (sp?) tuna 4tw

[Cydus]

tuna in a can is so much cheaper

and yeah I use the squish technique, gotta make sure you leave a tiny sliver of metal on the top to hold on to the side that way you get enough angle for drainage without getting on you, and its easier to pull the lid out too.

I eat a lot of tuna and have been cut like 4 times on my fingers from those bastardized lids.. they need something better!

[Mutt]

If you get a side can opener (as opposed to the traditional top end can opener) you just cut about 85% of the can tilt it and the weight of the tuna will bend the lid enough to drain the juice with no tuna dropping out. Tilt it back and finish opening the can. Piece of cake.

I prefer to completely sever the entire top part of the can. Once I do that, I turn the can upside down, and push the lid up into the tuna, forcing the water out the sides. If you leave a small piece of metal, it will cause the lid to snap onto the tuna, and then you get tuna splash, and tuna juice is just nasty. Then you just squeeze the can and use your fork to pull the lid off, then scoop out the tuna.

I f you do that, you'll have really soggy tuna. Unless you like soggy tuna, its important to use the lid as a vice (as gnioss said) to force as much skank tuna juice out of the can as possible.

[Roxie]

Wow, Mutt is all fancy with his method. If I ever have tuna (only one time a year, normally, I crave it), or chicken breast in a can (for chicken salad) then I use the lid squeeze method! VERY EASY AND SIMPLE and no one taught me how to do it, I JUST DO IT LIKE A NIKE.

[Cinnabar]

About 90% of tuna that you'll see, in a can or not, is Albacore. I'll also let you know, Mr. fresh tuna advocate, that if you're one of those people who say OMG MERCURY IN TEH FISH WILL KILLZ ME....fresh tuna generally has higher mercury content than canned chunk light.

[Aradorn]

oh i dont care about mercury... hell ill eat just abuot anything as long as it taste good

[Mez]

I do the standard squishie method into the sink drain, cutting off the whole lid of the can.

HEY so Trader Joe's has the BEST tuna in a can, its only $1.49 a can and its super yummy. Also they have it in olive oil and DAMN its tasty. I am going to be a spokesmodel for Trader Joe's because its my favorite store in the whole world.

[Cinnabar]

$1.49? I pay like 50 cents for a regular sized(150 cals) can and about $1.20 for a large(300 cals)...both chunk light in water.

It might be tastier straight out of the can in olive oil but it's also much higher in fat and calories. 1 tsp fat free mayo + a little relish + hard boiled egg whites 4tw.

[Mez]

Of course its higher in fat and calories, but its the good fat. I only buy the olive oil one for special tuna occasions.

AND I live in Seattle, you live in Texas. Everything cost a hundred times more than down there in the south.

[Cydus]

Im in ohio and its 50 cents a can here sillyhead

[Mutt]

If you are using the lid to squish then you didnt read what i said about can openers. This method cuts off the lip from the side, not the top. No sharp can lids, and it can drain all the juice no problem. I used to eat 3 cans of tuna a day for 6 months. Starfrit can openers 4tw.

[Mez]

OK Seattle, New York, and LA are on their own prices for food OK!?!?!?

[Scintelle]

A can of tuna costs eleven dollars in LA.

[Cinnabar]

lol

MY GOD 3 cans a day for 6 months? I can only imagine what smell permeated from your pores!

[Diraker]

am I the only one who used to watch the original battlestar galactica?

[Cinnabar]

...and Roxie thinks i'm bad

I read what you wrote, but no can opener can force as much water out of the can as using the lid can, whether you open it from the top, bottom, side, or inside-out.

[Roxie]

tuna is gross sorta but i sorta want some now! i like my onions!

[Mez]

Mmmm onions and tuna....I love tuna salad with a little mayo, onions, pickles and celery and pepper. Yummm.

[Siridean]

am I the only one who used to watch the original battlestar galactica?

I did, from the very beginning. I remember watching the pilot movie when it came out. :cool:

[Drekor]

Any other normal people here that like... steak?

[Siridean]

I'm with Roxie on this one, I eat tuna maybe once or twice a year when I get a craving for it. Don't really like seafood, but I <3 steak. :D

[Armind]

Any other normal people here that like... steak?

Who said we didn't like steak? WRONG TOPIC CAREBEAR

[Cinnabar]

Any other normal people here that like... steak?

So you eat steak all day, every day?

[Jimborg]

I'm with Roxie on this one, I eat tuna maybe once or twice a year when I get a craving for it. Don't really like seafood, but I <3 steak. :D

Quite the opposite of my taste, I LOVE seafood. Seafood meat taste so sweet: Lobster, Shrimp, and scalllops. Theres a bike trail that passes really close to a chinese place that serves great seafood. With an almost ungodly amount of rice that my mom usually saves for later meals.

[Miach]

They should make this contraption that you just put down in your sink. All metal kindav like an OJ press.

Except you open the can of tuna normally then flip it over with the lid cut but still inside. Then you mash down the lever which presses the back of the can down. You would get tons of leverage to get it really dry..and non of the skank juice would get all over your hands. Then take the can off and rinse the press off right there in the sink.

One can dream . . .

[Drekor]

So you eat steak all day, every day?

In various forms yes.

o_O

[Armind]

One can dream . . .

lol nice.

OMG the WIT! Is that why you're "Da Wenches Man?"

[Cinnabar]

I had tuna for lunch today!

[Mez]

OMG I had a tuna sandwich last night.
