Once in a while, we encounter a jar that seems impossible to twist open. And guys, even with all the strength training, sometimes the end result is futility and humiliation…especially when you fail to open it in front of a girl. Weak.  But it’s alright, some times using your noggin is more effective then brute strength alone. YumSugar has a neat post on using a spoon to open a stubborn jar.

  1. Hold the spoon in one hand and the jar firmly in the other.
  2. Nestle the spoon in the crack between the lid and the glass. Push up and back. You want to break the seal.
  3. Press up with the spoon to loosen the lid. If the seal does not break, rotate the jar and repeat, pressing up and back with the spoon until you hear a pop.
  4. Let go of the spoon and twist the lid off. It will come of smoothly and easily.

I usually battle it out with a butter knife, but the spoon looks to be a safer alternative.
