Girl power with knowledge

Love it!

I use rubber dish washing gloves for a better grip. If that fails , I use a kitchen knife , slide it between the lid and the glass jar , give it a slight twist and pop!

The greatest moment of her life

an easier way is to hold it with one arm and bring it down hard onto the flat hand of your other arm, you'll here a pop, that's the fluid hitting the jar cover forcing the vacuum to brake. when you bring the jar down fast the shock wave of the sudden stop using your hand travels up to the lid and brakes the vacuum

i worked in a deli and was shown this the first day and have never tried opening jars any other way, regardless of the size of the jar...............it never fails and people are amazed when you show it to them

Such a scientific discussion on the jar opening procedural policies.

The problem with this method is that its not allowed by the health department because of the risk of glass chips falling into the jar.

The Indiana Jones Way: Take a big knife and slam a small hole in the lid.

What I do is take a single piece kitchen knife hold it horizontal and use the heavy end to tap around the outside top of the lid. It may take a couple of tries.
