Jar opener

[Boris Bear]

£45 for an electric jar opener that didn't work with one of the jars they tried! Think I will stick with going next door to ask a neighbour!

Just love it when demos go wrong

I didnt see the one that went wrong, but I couldn't believe the size of it it would take up all your kitchen side!! There are much better things for peeps with dexterity problems.

I have a purple rubber circle thingy - think I got it from Lakeland about 20 years ago. You got a pack of two (think I gave one to my mum) for about a quid and its still going strong - very rarely fails to open jars!!!!!

I have those as well, no problems opening jars.

I was surprised the lids hadn't been loosened a bit before the demo (not that I am at all cynical).

I just use a rubber glove. Rarely fails.

Me too. Not enough if you have dexterity problems, I suppose, but works for me.

I also got those many years ago, and they still work.

I use a tip I picked up on Ready steady cook years ago !!....just bang the lid of the jar on a worktop, you can hear it go pop and it opens no problem !, it always works for me :muscle::clapping:

[Jan]

I think all screw top lids should be squared off!

 

[Lottie]

I was surprised the lids hadn't been loosened a bit before the demo (not that I am at all cynical).

ooh no that would be too easy.
I wonder if the production team fix the demos when things go wrong - like delberately planting a jar which can't be opened - if they don't like the presenter. :grin:

Cynical? moi?

Does anyone else remember Anthony and the can opener? It was the one you just put on the top of the can and don't hold, battery powered, he tried a can, couldn't open it, got another, couldn't open that, ended up with about 7 unopened cans in front of him and he was just about speechless with the giggles. In the end he said "Its the floor managers fault HE'S BROUGHT ME THE WRONG KIND OF CANS" lol
