Cans were opened with a hammer and chisel before the advent of can openers. The tin cannister, or can, was invented in 1810 by a Londoner, Peter Durand.
I think the first food packaged in a sealed metal can was from the 1820s or 1830s.
The "can opener" was not invented until more than 10 years later. For those first ten years or so, people were expected to cut into the can with a knife or some other tool they already owned.
