  • Large glass jars such as large pickle or sauerkraut jars, aren't easy to open if you just try to unscrew the lid. This video explains why this is so and shows a real easy way to avoid a strained wrist.

    OMG!!! This tutorial is so amazing. I was able to open a very large glass jar and it was so easy to do it. I tried rubber bands, rubber gloves, hair dryer, my daughter and I both trying to open it together. Nothing but the spoon worked. I could not be happier. This is a tip I will use with other identical jars to the one I opened today. And I will remember this tip FOREVER!!! Thank you so much!!

I was almost doubtful that it would work as smoothly as you've demonstrated. Boy, I have never been so happy to have been proven WRONG!! I was amazed at the buttery smooth-ness of the jar lid opening. Absolutely beautiful, thank you for giving us this useful video.

  • @alans9806

    Good presentation. The hot water might also cause the steel lid to expand and reduce the friction though the reduced vacuum is probably the main reason.
    The many devices on the market may grip the lid but don't help in gripping the jar body.
