Kitchen Hint of the Day!

An easy way to open a tight jar lid is to cover the top in plastic wrap to create a firm grip. Rubber kitchen gloves or rubber bands work well too. If the jar lid still won't budge, set it in a bowl with a little hot tap water for a few minutes, and then try again. Still stuck? Try this trick with a puncture type can opener: Carefully work the pointed tip under the lid and gently loosen the cap. This should release enough pressure to allow you to open the jar.
