Would you like to try some pickles or enjoy some jam with tea, but your bottle opener has disappeared somewhere?

We'll tell you how to open a jar of preserves without this device - and you can be sure that even the most stubborn screw cap will not resist the life hacks listed in this article.

Scotch tape or electrical tape

If you can't open the jar because your fingers are slipping on the lid, try using duct tape or electrical tape. Cut a long strip and fold it in half with the sticky side up.

Then wrap the lid of the jar with tape. With this sticky pad, you will easily open the jar because your fingers will no longer slip.

Knife

To loosen the lid thread, you can use a knife. Just tap the handle on the sides and top of the lid and try to open the stubborn can again - after a couple of minutes, the operation will probably be successful.
