Sometimes the lid is so tight that it seems impossible to open without male strength. But there are several simple and safe ways to open any jar in literally half a minute.
1. With a Spoon
Pry the edge of the lid with a regular tablespoon, lifting it slightly around the perimeter. When air gets inside, the lid will come off easily.
2. With a Rubber Glove
Put on a glove — it will provide a secure grip. Just twist the lid: the extra friction will help you open even the most stubborn jar.
3. With Hot Water
Submerge the lid in hot water for a couple of minutes — the metal will expand slightly, and the jar will open easily. Just don’t do this right after taking it out of the fridge to avoid breaking the glass.
Now you know how to quickly handle any jar — without effort and tools.
