Brilio.net - Storing food supplies in jars is often the choice of most people. Not without reason, food stocks become more hygienic and last longer. There are many food stocks that are usually stored in jars such as cookies, chips, jams, kitchen spices, and many more.

When talking about jars , have you ever had difficulty opening them? I don't know if it's because my hands are slippery or because the jar lid is too tight. If you force it open, the jar lid is at risk of being damaged.

To overcome this problem, it is not uncommon for people to use special tools to open jammed jar lids. The tool that is often used is a knife. Even though using a knife can risk injuring your hands.

As a solution, you can overcome this problem in a simpler and safer way. The method was shared by the TikTok account @cheryantoinette. At the beginning of his video upload, he showed the condition of the jar lid which was very difficult to open. Even though I twisted as hard as I could, the lid of the jar still wouldn't open.

Knowing this, he immediately took a simple tool, namely a rubber band. Reported by BrilioFood from TikTok @cheryantoinette, only one rubber band was used. Surely you have this tool at home, right?

If so, put a rubber band on the mouth of the jar lid. Make sure the rubber band is installed perfectly and there are no broken parts.

Then hold the jar with both hands. Twist the jar lid firmly until it opens by itself. That way, you can enjoy the contents of the food in the jar without having to bother.
