The screw caps that we are used to using to stock up on jams and pickles for the winter are undoubtedly convenient.
One of its main advantages is that you can close the jars without any special devices in the form of a rolling machine.

However, there are also disadvantages to a screw cap. For example, sometimes it is very, very difficult to open a jar sealed with such a cap.
What do housewives who find themselves in such a difficult situation not try?
Some people run the jar under a stream of hot water, others put on rubber gloves, and still others try to open the lid by prying it open with the tip of a knife.
However, most often such methods are quite traumatic.
Instead of taking risks and looking for additional devices designed to help with this difficult task, try opening the lid with your own hands.
To do this, hold the can in one hand, clench the other into a fist, and strike the lid 2-3 times with the lower (soft) part of your fist.
This simple action will allow you to move the lid and equalize the pressure inside and outside the jar. After this manipulation, opening the jar with the seal will not be difficult.
