Atually the can itself was invented in 1810 by a man named Peter Durand. He made them so food would stay preserved longer on naval ships out to sea. Because the cans were so thick, they could only be opened by chisel, or using a knife, but as time went on, and the cans became thinner, the can opener could then be invented in 1858.
