Open a jam jar lid with boiling water

Submitted by val burns

If you are having trouble to open a new jar of jam? Pour boiling water over the lid and it will open easier.

Only use this method as a last resort as boiling water could break the glass of the jar and worse could burn you.

Works a treat!!! Comments By: Felicity on 2008-04-21
After having spent over half an hour trying to open my new jar of jam - with an impatient 6 year old waiting to finish making her Victoria Sponge - I decided to try and see if there were any tips online - sure enough after reading this tip, my jar was open after the kettle had boiled!!!
Thankyou.
