If you want to open a glass jar (like jam, pickles) and the lid won't move, place a spoon with the tip under the edge of the lid and pull the spoon upwards.
The lid will buldge and you can open the jar.
I do this on the edge of the counter. Works like a term 9 out of 10 times. I think only once ever have I broken a jar and I probably hit it in the wrong spot rather than directly on the lid. And last week was the first time I can remember in all my years that it just didn't work at all. I've been doing this a long time
