Opening a jar is sometimes mission impossible.
The lid is just too tight.
To believe that you have to take bodybuilding lessons! Nothing more annoying, right?
Fortunately, I discovered a little trick to open any jar that is too tight.
Just use a bottle opener to break the seal on the jar.
Here's what it looks like with last night's jar of pickles:
1. Hold the recalcitrant jar with one hand.
2. Position your bottle opener on the lid, as pictured.
3. Leverage with the bottle opener, as if you wanted to open your jar.
4. When you hear a pschit, unscrew the lid of your jar.
There you go, you have easily opened your jar, without forcing it :-)
Why it works
The lever action of the bottle opener breaks the seal of the jar. All you have to do is unscrew it easily.
Don't throw away your empty jars. Turn them into storage. Read this tip to find out how.
