Firm, sustained force usually does it, otherwise it's a marigold glove like @glistivali, a whack on the bottome like Mary, or if it's a jar I'm going to use up all at once, I just use a church key opener to puch a hole in the top.@katie_buffalonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4440960854320739439.post-2759074585196196312011-02-23T08:16:28.979+00:002011-02-23T08:16:28.979+00:00Loving the tips: keep 'em coming!Loving the tips: keep 'em coming!The Guerilla Grillerhttp://guerillagriller.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4440960854320739439.post-92174988043014481632011-02-23T03:56:21.059+00:002011-02-23T03:56:21.059+00:00Put a rubber glove on one hand and twist the stuck...Put a rubber glove on one hand and twist the stuck lid.
