How To Open A Stubborn Jar Lid

[@theverybadsniper6910]

I'm on the verge of tears trying to open a tostitos chunky salsa jar at 3 AM

[@rosez7870]

Same! Except its 2 in the afternoon

[@moldyrefrigerator]

The hot water for 30 seconds did the trick for me

[@rosez7870]

[@WildKat25]

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.

[@DaveThompsonfairlife4all]

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.
