Can openers do not need to be toiveled. They do not touch food

Kosher Cook has one with an Ein Tzarich Tevilah hechsher on it. Made by Jews. You need to buy it from a Jew. Available in most kosher supermarkets.

I thought can openers don't need to be toiveled even if they touch food. Ask your lor, don't ever pasken anything from here.

Wow this feels like a step up from selling saltwater kits.

Their Ein Tzarich Tevillah knives are actually very helpful when traveling. Or at work when you need a knife that nobody has time to toivel and that also clearly states the status so there's no mixup (Meat, Dairy, Parve).

Not exactly.
If you only use a baking pan with parchment paper, you would still need to toivel it as that is the kli used for baking.

But correct about the can opener not needing tevilla.
