Opening cans on Yom Tov follows the same laws as doing so on Shabbos without any change.[1] Nevertheless, some Poskim[2]rule it is permitted to open cans on Yom Tov without restriction according to all opinions if one does so in a destructive fashion. Practically one may be lenient like this opinion if one was unable to open the can before Shabbos, or the food would spoil if it were to be opened then.[3]
