    Abstract: The concept of the “J-Extractor” is that of a newly designed utensil for extracting water or oil from tuna. The “J-Extractor” would be a hand-held straining device specifically designed to remove excess water and/or oil from tuna. The device would consist of a strainer pan with incorporated drain holes and a twist-lock lid with an attached turn handle and pressing plate. The contents of a can of tuna would be placed into the pan and the lid attached, with the user then turning the device's top-mounted handle to lower the internal press plate and extract water/oil from the tuna. The use of the “J-Extractor” would allow the user to remove excess water and/or oil from tuna in a quick and efficient manner, eliminating the possibility of spilling the liquids onto the hands or a countertop. The device would be extremely easy to use and could be washed either by a dishwasher or by hand.
