Troublesome pickle jars are a hungry person’s worst nightmare. Instead of giving up on your meal, try a few different jar opening methods! Whether the lid is too tightly sealed or stuck with food, any pickle jar can be opened with the right techniques.

Method 1 of 4:

Adding Friction

  1. Step 1 Use this method to open slick pickle jars.
    There are many factors that can contribute to a slippery jar lid, including condensation and moisturized hands. Fortunately, these jar lids can be easily unstuck by adding friction. This technique may not work on especially stubborn jars.[1]
  2. Step 3 Open the jar.
    Grip the sides of the jar tightly with your non-dominant hand. Twist the lid in a counter-clockwise direction with your dominant hand. The jar should open easily. If not, the airtight seal on the jar will need to be broken with another method.
    • If you can’t open the jar alone, have a friend hold the sides while you twist the lid.

Making a Duct Tape Handle

  1. Step 3 Pull the handle.
    Grip the jar firmly in your non-dominant hand. Use your dominant hand to pull on the handle. The force of your pull should twist the jar lid in a counter-clockwise direction. Keep pulling until the lid pops off.
    • If the lid is especially stubborn, have a friend hold the jar while you pull the handle with both hands.
    • If the jar is slick, use a dishtowel to help you hold it steady.
