metal can
Preserved food vessel
A metal can is a sealed container made of tin-plated steel or aluminum, used for storing food, beverages, or other products.
The design allows long-term preservation without refrigeration: a can of beans, a can of soda.
Opening typically requires a can opener or pull-tab.
In American English, can is standard; British English often uses tin.
