Doesn’t it make you crazy when you can’t open a sticky jar such as honey, jam, jelly or molasses? Check out these two ways to help prevent that and more kitchen tips below.
Place a piece of plastic wrap on the top of the jar before screwing the top back on. The plastic wrap prevents some serious sticking to the lid making it easier to unscrew.
Using a clean towel or paper towel, dip it into vegetable oil and rub a very thin layer on the threads of the jar. The thin layer of oil will make it easier to open the next time you use it.
We use a manual can opener and it drives me crazy when I open the can and the lid falls into the can of food. Instead of dirtying a knife to dig it out, try using a magnet.
Don’t ever throw away a jar that still has sauce stuck on the bottom. Instead, use a spatula to get out as much as you can followed by a few tablespoons of liquid (for example water, broth, wine). After you pour the liquid into the empty jar, put the lid on tightly and shake the jar to remove the sauce stuck to the bottom. Pour it into your pan with the other sauce, that way you get your money’s worth!
