How to Open a Jar Lid in One Second

That is excellent, thanks for posting!

I have honey bees, and I am always collecting jars and their lids for future bottling.  Usually the lids I get are pretty banged up from all the thumping from the traditional method of tapping the crap out of the lid with a knife, and need to be replaced. You know the method I mean. I am wondering if the lids maintain their freshness integrity with this method. 

I will report back when I figure it out.

I have yet to try it myself, but I think this would work great on jars of jam. They always seem the toughest to open up.

I've seen something like this before where you can use a can opener in the same way.  Use the side of the can opener that you would as if you were opening a bottle of beer.  Don't use the pointy side that is used for puncturing cans.  Just lift the engaged opener a tiny bit, you will see/hear the vacuum seal break and can open the jar.  Just another way of performing the same function.  I tried it once and it worked.

Oh, I'm going to try that as well!
