3 Ways to Open a Stubborn Jar

Here are 3 ways to open a stubborn jar. 

1. The Double Squeeze
Use the heels of your hands to apply pressure to either side of your jar lid until you hear a little pop. 

2. The Spoon Method
Place the tip of a spoon under the lower part of your jar lid. 

Carefully maneuver the spoon to release a little air, and it'll open right up. 

3. The Lid Tap
Carefully tap the sides of your jar lid on a counter or cutting board all the way around. 

For good measure, use the heel of your hand to tap the bottom of your jar. Easy peasy. 


The goal is to release the pressure from the jar to make it easier to open. Do you have a tried and true way that you use to open stubborn jars? Let me know.
