Abstract: A canned food screw press for exerting high compression forces against solid food and liquid mixture packaged in a can forcing the fluid to separate and drain leaving drier solid food. The compact device comprises of a housing having a base for mounting a standard size can with an arch support over it accepting a threaded rod with a handle for turning on one end and a swivel disk on the other that contacts against the top lid of an opened can. The rod moves perpendicular to the can lid when rotated in one direction creating pressing forces against the disk, lid and food. The housing has a handle for stability and draining.
