Abstract: The flexible press fits onto the rim of standard sized cans for the purpose of compressing the contents of canned food and forcibly evacuating liquids from the solid food. The device comprises; a flexible center section, an oblique band molded such that it is held in place by a friction fit on the outer edge of the can; and an opening radially-located on the flexible center section of the device, designed so that when the device is affixed onto a can and the center section is then depressed against the can's severed lid, the liquid is forced out of the can in a controlled manner and discriminately directed thru the opening in the device without contact to the user's body or clothing. As the press is removed, the compressed suction cup draws the severed lid away from the solid food and removes it from the can.
