Hi Anuja and Hetal

Nice tip.. I always use a latex glove to pop open the jar.
Never missed it.

Hi Sri,

We try to avoid making holes in the caps/lids…but if you are ok with it, it’s great! You just need to be able to get the air in for it to pop and open 🙂

I open my jars by piercing a teeny tiny hole in the lid with a sharp instrument. Once the lid opens, I cover the miniature hole with a tape to keep dust from getting in in the long run

Hello H & A,

Another one to add to your list, something I learnt as a graduate student in a Chemistry lab:

Put an elastic/rubber band around the periphery of the lid and twist, and voilÃ your jar/bottle is open! In 15+ years I am yet to meet a lid that cannot be opened this way!!
