Being someone who usually eats 2 or more cans per day, I have discovered a very "handy" trick. Pun intended.
1. Find the place on the jar where the threads end and there is a gap next to the lid.

2. Note how nicely most forks have a curvature that will cradle the curve of the jar!

3. Place your fork against the jar where the fork best fills the gap next to the lid. This will be likely where the fork is narrowest near the useful end.

4. Use your index finger to apply pressure to the fork against the jar and at the same time, pull up on the wide end of the fork with your other hand. (I placed my thumb here just to illustrate)...Pop!

Its nice not to need any tools to get into your jar. Ive found that many plastic forks can be successful as well if you're careful.
Can you tell I'm on my paternity leave (3 month old at home), and have plenty of time on my hands??
