As before grip the lid with all your force, using
whatever additional help may be needed tea towel,
rubber glove etc.

Then take hold of the jar in the other hand

And er, turn the jar.

You can always get a better grip on a glass jar simply
with the width of your hand, given which it seems to
make more sense to turn the jar rather than the lid.
Which still needs to be gripped firmly, but not turned
at the same time.



These work extremely well on a variety of jar lids

So they all work better than simply turning jar instead, do they ?

I mean I don't know. I've always turned the lids, but my recent experience
suggests that maybe I along with everyone else it seems has been doing
it wrong all along. As there's nothing that readily comes up on Google
about turning the jar instead.

The only problem is, I don't really want to go round opening jars of stuff
I don't need to open right now, hopefilly jars with really tight lids,
just to find out if it was a one-off or not.
