I have always done it the way in the pic above, but I just found out recently that you can just turn it 90° and cut it in the manner you’re describing. So if you are using the same type of can opener then you could probably just turn it like in the pic and try it that way.
IMO it cuts better your way but also leaves a more sharp top on the can
No I think I just have a totally different kind of can opener. I don’t think you could use mine in the way shown above, and it looks a little bit different.
