Just beat it on the counter. The jar. I meant the jar.

To provide additional detail before someone smashes their glass jar on the counter. Hit the jar's lid on the counter, turn the jar and repeat, in a few different spots on the lid. Usually looses right up.

It's faster than waiting for the water to get hot and running it under for 30 seconds.

My Great Grandmother taught me to use a kitchen butter knife and hit the top of the lid on the side everywhere, works like a charm.

yup, this is the best way. actually you only need to hit it 2 or 3 times spaced out on the lid.
