Step 3: Carefully Remove the Jar
Use a towel or oven mitt to carefully lift the jar out of the bowl — the lid might be hot! Be cautious and dry the lid off with a towel if it’s slippery.
Step 4: Open the Lid with Ease
Now try twisting the lid — you’ll be amazed how easily it turns. No strain, no grunts, no slipping. Just a smooth twist and pop — the jar is open.
If it’s still tight, you can repeat the process for another 30 seconds.
✅ Extra Tips
- For added grip, use a rubber glove or a piece of kitchen towel.
- Don’t microwave jars with metal lids — always use boiled water instead.
- This trick also works for jarred jams, sauces, nut butters, and honey.
