The best way to open a jar (without ruining the lid by bending it) is the turn the jar upside down with the lid on a hard and flat surface (like tile, linoleum, stone counters etc. Not something soft or that can damage like wooden floors). With the jar in both hands smack the lid flat against the hard surface several times with force (don't break the jar). The pressure of the air in the jar will change suddenly as the lid hits the surface and the food inside moves. The lid will pop off easily afterwards. If you get good you just have the hit the lid once on the surface and you can open it. I had to open more than 200 super large pickle jars for volunteer events. Works everytime, even with sticky lids for previously used jam jars.
Heating the jar under hot water + spoon technique = Super Kai Earning Dragon Ball Z fusion. Not even would a "Cell Saga" infused jar be able to withstand the power of this fusion power! Never again shall I be beaten by a stubborn jar nemesis!
I googled open jar lid and this helped me eat my tosito chips at 3am with Nuevo Tex Mex sauce. But damn, it's 2018 and we still have jars like this? Come on..
I tried every one of these, even tried boiling water, but there was just this one jar that was just SO stubborn, and it was only until I broke the actual lid itself that the seal broke. Boy, that was an experience.
@normanocampo4466 thank u man, finally opened my ginger garlic paste jar with the spoon...I tried heating the lid, plastic, tried to get a better grip none of them worked except for the spoon lever mechanism
Holy ***! That worked so incredibly and amazingly easily! Put the spoon in the edge, and barely had to move it to hear the "pop"! Brilliant. This is the best method by far. Can't believe I made it to my age without knowing this.
I tried everything i could and i still can't get it open....i'm just going to get the hammer now.... Edit: also if plastic wrap and hot water doesn't work then bang the lid on like a table or something and it will eventually work! Just try not to break the jar! Right as i was about to get the hammer i saw a comment about this and i tried it. I finally got it to open! but now my toast is cold too...
@@AedanBlackheart "need", no buddy need is not the word. on the other hand it'd be nice to have someone open a stubborn jar lid for me 😂 u were watching this video for a reason too
I’m really grateful for this video. the metal spoon tactic helps me to open the jar easily without exerting that much strength. The only thing i did different was, i place the jar upside down and use the metal spoon to push the trapped air out
Thank you! After watching your helpful video, I pushed the corner of a flat head screwdriver under the edge of a stuck lid, and 'pop', pressure released, lid opened easily. Appreciate you taking the time to share this!
It did work for me with elastic band!!! Thank you - you are a genius. Prior today, I spent 2 days trying to open this jar and almost crack my wrist bones
Its really nice to see even young strong guys have trouble opening these dang lids. I am a senior lady and not being able to open a lid made me feel like I was losing it.
You are a life saver the rubber gloves helped thanks so much I been trying to open a container I had which never could get open and today it opened thanks so much
I had to make pasta and could not get the jar of sauce opened! Watched this video out of sheer hopelessness, tried the rubber band trick, didn't work. Then I tried the wooden spoon method and OMG the lid came off so easily. This video saved my dinner :')
You are a life saver. I have rheumatoid arthritis and sometimes my jar opening aides are not made for certain jars. The spoon tricked worked on my jar of queso blanco I’ve been struggling with for 45 min 😂
Helpful. We made pickles and I couldn’t get the lid open with a rubber circular hand mat made for this, so I tried dishwashing gloves and it worked! Some materials grip better than others. Gratitude!
Greetings and WOW, Using a spoon to pry the lid worked instantly on a 64 ounce jar of artichokes that are always hard to open. Thank you so much, Peace to you
Instructions unclear Ended up burning my pointer finger and thumb, wasting cling wrap, stretching out all my bands and breaking my wooden spoon in the process... LUCKILY I was able to open my strawberry jam jar and have a delicious strawberry jam sandwich! 😅
I was struggling to open a jar of olives and finally the wooden spoon worked!! Thank you and also thank you because this incident made me have a special moment with my daughter 😂
Thank you, good sir. I was crying because I couldn't open my tostitos queso Blanco jar at 2 am but the plastic wrap opened it effortlessly. I owe you my life❤❤❤
I normally dont give likes, but you deserve it cus it's 2 am and i had been trying for half an hour to open an artichoke jar cus im really weak and your video saved me so thank you 😔✊
I tried a combo of these methods for a stubborn pasta sauce jar - I ran it under water for 30 seconds and then started tapping on the side of the jar with a wooden spoon and it popped right off. Much better than looking like an idiot while trying to open the jar with my puny muscles. Thanks Tech Insider!
I went thru 3 days of trying to open a jar without success. Then I remembered that I have jar openers somewhere in my kitchen drawers. After a little searching I found them. I’m rather old so it takes a little while to get my brain to remembering!I was finally able to open a jelly jar with the little jar opener, so happy! I had to use the larger opener for a sauce jar just so I could eat dinner. I am the happiest to have gotten these jars open. I’ll be looking for a couple more different openers so I’ll feel well equipped to open any jar!!
I just tried the plastic wrap method and it worked!!! My wrists hurt from trying, looked this up lol and I did just that and it opened!!?? Where have you been all my life!!? My gosh!🤣😂🎉
Thank you, i spent days trying to open a home-made cucumber pickle i almost broke my fingers , after watching this video i tried the gloves method and it worked in a nano second like magic!
I'm on the verge of tears trying to open a tostitos chunky salsa jar at 3 AM
Same! Except its 2 in the afternoon
The hot water for 30 seconds did the trick for me
@@moldyrefrigerator I tried that and it didn't work.... I used a lighter and that worked. That lid was very stubborn.

Sometimes Tech Insider explains rocket science, and other times you find jar-opening tutorials..
😂

I mean it helped
It's more helpful than other rocket science stuff helped me open a jar at 3 am

Just get a spoon, PRY open under the lid, easy peasy, NO long process

@@normanocampo4466 thank youuuuu! i just did this now after reading this it worked!
Or you could use the ancient Asian method of using the clothes you're wearing for better grip
@@therevoltingpleb as turk we do that too
that's an asian thing? never knew that, i do it too
Yah....my grandma also does that....
@@zombi3misfit no you are dumb
Sometimes the cloths make your grip slippery thpugh, depends what you wear
I strongly believe you are never too old to learn new tricks..thank you for this video. I used the rubber gloves idea and it worked yay!
Who believes that silly saying
Everyone ❤😊
I thought the wooded spoon was silly but I tried it and it actually worked! Thank you so much😊
It worked Brilliantly 😂
Same hahahaha
I’ve been trying to open this god damn jar for the last two weeks and the spoon hack finally opened it!!! Thanks
The spoon trick worked for me too :)
It's 2am and I'm craving for cheese spread on my sliced bread. It was a relief to hear the popping sound after a few tries using the spoon 😂😂😂
Holy ***! That worked so incredibly and amazingly easily! Put the spoon in the edge, and barely had to move it to hear the "pop"! Brilliant. This is the best method by far. Can't believe I made it to my age without knowing this.
Caught me on the same situation lol
@@deekaulitzify it made me smile to know someone who went through the same trials in life😁😅😂😂
I CAN’T OPEN THE JAM.
EDIT: OMG I DID IT WITH HOT WATER AND PLASTIC WRAP
...but now my toast is cold.

You guys have pickles on your toast???
@@Vallenium2 no well atleast I don't I don't like pickles...
Replica it literally says “jam”
I did the same and worked for me instead of plastic wrap I used a cloth
My husband is currently deployed, and I had the MOST stubborn jar of salsa in DA WORLD. Thanks to your techniques, I was able to open it! Thanks!
@@infotroll Me too! I hope they're both okay.
Still to this day, the woman needs her man to open a jar. It's actually sweet, hehe
@@AedanBlackheart "need", no buddy need is not the word. on the other hand it'd be nice to have someone open a stubborn jar lid for me 😂 u were watching this video for a reason too

Ok no bc I did this and you have no idea how happy (and hungry) I was I also put it under REALLY hot water for 30 seconds
All those jars have their seals already broken
Dont you say?
It did work for me with elastic band!!! Thank you - you are a genius. Prior today, I spent 2 days trying to open this jar and almost crack my wrist bones
Hot water on the lid works better . Thanks for the tip 👍

This was so useful! The 30 seconds in the hot water worked perfectly. Thanks!
Its really nice to see even young strong guys have trouble opening these dang lids. I am a senior lady and not being able to open a lid made me feel like I was losing it.
