Aids to open jars

<< < (4/4)

squeezyjohn:
I've never found anything better than these old fashioned ones that come in two pieces, clamp down on the jar and then provide a nice long lever to get them open.  I don't think anyone still makes them - but they turn up in charity shops sometimes:

I use two hands but for all except the tightest lids I imagine they would work fine if the jar was supported between the legs or under the arm.

Deb P:
Rubber gloves work well for me......I once wrote to the makers of Branston pickle as I sprained my wrist trying to open one of their pickle jars, it was ridiculously jammed on, how someone with arthritis would have managed I have no idea....
