I don't like tomato sauce, but Mo is Italian and does. She uses fresh tomatoes, or sometimes stuff that comes in a carton.
I make a white sauce and sometimes put in just a little of her tomato sauce, sort of an orange-colored sauce.

OK kinda like french toast with cheese inside.
I like to caramelize some onions and add them to the middle of my grilled cheese.

It's an appetizer in better Italian restaurants.
Yeah, bacon, tuna, chilli. All kinds of things.
Yes, the fear of germs on can lids makes it hard to eat, or sleep. But the real worry is paper cuts from turning the pages of cookbooks. If you don't bleed to death immediately, they always get infected.
Wearing two layers of gloves at all times can somewhat reduce the risks.

don't cut all the way around leave the top connected to the can, the top flips open when you pour it out
Chips and baked beans (preferably Heinz) is serious food where I'm from. You can have almost anything alongside - battered fish, sausages, egg, pie, steak, lasagne. I think I read somewhere that the British eat more baked beans than the rest of the world put together.
I don't claim that baked beans are haute cuisine, I'm just saying that they are a special case.
OK, very interesting! I guess maybe some time I will have to try it.

I have a few of those scattered around the house. My guess is most are from WWII. The P-38 is a lousy can opener. It takes forever to open a can, works badly on rectangular tops with small radius corners, and tears holes in my pocket and back pack.
Much better is a "Church Key" opener. While normally used for opening pre-poptop soda and oil cans, it can be made to work on soup cans. The problem is that the jagged edges are VERY jagged and of course, quite sharp. Something like this: but with overlapping cuts into the lid. If the sharp points bother you, just push them back down into the can.
Another way is to use a modern version of either of these tools in its current manifestation as one of the numerous blades on a Swiss Army knife or a Multi-Tool. I won't bother to review the many can opening contrivances found on multi-tools. They're all slow and tedious to use. Most people only use these when there's no other can opening device available:

Why am I talking to people who probably can't even tie their shoes right ?
Oh, and try the tomato-roasted pepper soup from Trader Joe's. It comes in a paper carton. It's great as a soup or a dip.
If you add oil and vinegar it becomes roasted pepper vinaigrette, for salad or for dipping roasted vegetables.
served with a grilled cheese sandwich on the side for dipping... (I add some basil to the soup too.) "
That shit has HFCS in it. I was taken aback when I found out. It used to ha ve many uses but now it has none, at least for me. With all the price their name can command, they had to save a few dollars and switch to that poison ? That shit is history with me.
I tried it today with two cans (both exactly the same). On one can I used the opener in the usual manner. On the other can I tried the youtube way.
The youtube way left a sharp cutting edge while the traditional way left none. (My opener is the same as in the video)
Conclusion: don't do it the youtube way.
On the back of a Campbell's "Chunky Grilled Sirloin Steak with Hearty Vegetables" soup can, is inscribed: Caution: Metal edges are sharp. If using can opener, open bottom of can.
Perhaps you were opening the wrong end of the can?
Conclusion: Nobody reads the instructions.
