y They have a couple other things single women can get assistance for.



Turning jars upside down and whacking the lids flat against a counter top works.


Turn a faucet on, let it get hot, and put the pickle jar under it, making sure that the hot water flows directly onto the center of the lid. Metal expands more than glass with heat. When I was younger, I didn't have to do this. Now, I whack and heat. Why is it always pickles and sauerkraut?

I have a jar opener that just lifts the lid to break the seal. The lid comes off easily. Quick and easy.

Like this but much cheaper

A big lid church-key! They used to give those away when I bought a six-pack. ;)

I find that the OXO good grips jar opener works best for me. If and when my grip strength becomes insufficient, I'll probably get an opener that screw mounts to the underside of a cabinet and allows the use both hands to twist the jar.

For me on the jars that are not too tough is just a piece of thin rubber like material about 6 to 8 inches indiameter. Lets me get a good grip on the lid.

Find something that pops the edge to break the seal. Try it with a bottle opener. No need for two hands ever.

Ii think we are talking two kinds of jars. One lid is just pressed on and pops off. The other kind of lid screws off and on.

Possibly, but the one that screws off will unscrew easily one you pop the seal with a little pry on the lip. Try it.

Can a male->female tranny still open their own jars?
