Leather Belt Jar Opener

March 5th, 2009

What’s more satisfying? Struggling with a sealed jar until your face turns purple or hearing that satisfying “sssssphump” as you claim victory over your vacuum-sealed tormentor? I’d say the victory. Next time you find yourself in this situation, try looping a leather belt around the lid. Leather grips well and provides uniform pressure around the circumference, making the job easier. Just don’t slip and drop the jar because no one likes to pick up pickles with their pants down.
