That's when you invest in a slip joint or tongue and groove set of pliers. If they dont work then this (http://www.pressurecooker-outlet.com/B31120231.htm) should. ;)
Ooh, thanks so much for this! I almost cut my hand trying to open that thing (it still hurts a bit). A towel didn't work either. I did have these winter gloves back in the day that had little rubber dots all over them, which worked great, but they're long gone now.
I also have one of those rubber round things (get your mind out of the gutter) that are usually about 6 inches in diameter, those will usually help me open whatever I need. Also, try running hot water over the lid if it won't open. Another trick I learned from my dad was to (not too hard) bang the side of the lid on the edge of the counter on a couple different sides, that sometimes helps to loosen it too.
Oh I'd never heard the hot water, side bang tricks. We usually turn it upside down and smack the bottom, but I think that works best with glass bottles since it did nothing this time.
last night i was tryna open this soda bottle that only had a sad little portion left.... mami tried too.. then shes all jst cut it open with a knife.. yeah right, i threw it out, cuz i wouldve been hella pissed if i tried mad hard to open it only to find out it was flat.
Here is what I use: a rubber grip. It has little raised bumps so it doesn't slip. Put the bumpy side against the cap and twist! It's flat, about the size of a small letter envelope and about 1/8 of an inch thick.
You can get them at Target/Wal-Mart in the kitchen aisle for a couple of dollars.
Haha... I was really upset that I couldn't open a jar the other day, but then I concentrated and thought of something that really pissed me off and then I was able to open it... or I guess you could get one of those jar opener thingys
Water it is then.

ReplyDeletePickle jars are the worse. Too big for my hands.

ReplyDeleteWell I did in fact get one of those thingies a few hours ago and was just able to open it. Yay!
ReplyDeleteI can never open bottles lately. I think I'm getting weaker.
