Tuna CansNowadays, it is permitted to open tuna cans on Shabbos since they are discarded after their contents are removed. Even though the contents of the can are not removed immediately, it is still not considered as if one is completing a utensil, since a tuna can has no purpose except to be opened and thrown away (10). It is forbidden, however, to remove the metal lid of a can which is meant to serve as a storage bin for the item for a lengthy period of time [such as a soup croutons can, etc.] since these type of containers are made to last for a longer period of time [than a tuna can]. Such cans are normally not emptied out right away, but are retained for as long as their contents last (11). This is a very interesting issue. Conincidently the examples of tuna and opening the can, as well as the proper way of discarding the can, is stated in the link. |
