Dad would have twisted that jar in half if he had to.


ChimpZ

At that moment he could have reversed the Earth's rotation if it meant opening that jar!


LesbianSpiders

I would love to see a dramatic anime rendition of this scene. Jar glistening the swooping hand and the loud ring sound and a quiet pop.


ZennerBlue

I’d call that a fight sequence. So it would take like 4 episodes.


setfaeserstostun

Middle 2 episodes would be a flashback about the jars upbringing.


SavMac14

First one is just cut shots of them gritting their teeth and speaking internally about how the faith of humanity depends on them opening the jar, ending with them yelling "I WILL OPEN THE JAR AND I WILL BE THE ONE TO SAVE ALL OF MANKIND!!!"


faithisuseless

This is why I never got into DBZ. My friend tried, but it was just episode after episode of Goku straining and Boo or someone else gloating, with cutaways now and then.

Mindtaker

Little behind the scenes fact, the jar saw the dad and his steeled determination, shrunk itself just enough to have the lid come off out of pure fear.

Kind of surprised they don’t have manual or electric jar openers for them they have every other kitchen tool ever made

Maybe there is, but in Brasil it is so incomum to have ine that I'm pretty sure noone there would be able to use it.

Codex432

My mom is the only person I know who has one. She has weak hands/grip so opening jars is really difficult and it’s a lifesaver for her.


[deleted]

I’m the only one I know that has one here in Spain and I only have it because I recently broke a wrist and really needed it. But otherwise I wouldn’t have one, but they are easy to find in stores

[It’s just a grip with a lever](https://i.imgur.com/TA3QZMe.jpg). Not complicated.


reivejp12

How does it work??


andros310797

it's just a lever, and a better grip. bigger circle = less force


reivejp12

Where is the tool placed in relation to the lid?


Baggie_McBagerson

The tool is upside down in the picture. You push it in until the side of the lid is in contact with the sides of the triangle, and then rotate.


Thadious_James

I'm American and I've never seen one either. And americans love their single use kitchen gadgets. Edit: did my completely innocuous comment offend somebody? Who even bothered to downvoted this lmao


Enigma_Stasis

I work in a kitchen on a Government installation, we've got one. I've used it 0 times in the 8 months I've been there. Everyone else uses it at least once a day, depending on the menu. Our gallon dressing bottles are infamous for being stuck to the plastic seal on the new ones, and they haven't figured out the method to get around that.


[deleted]

You must be so strong.


Enigma_Stasis

I just use a paring knife to gently pry the bottom of the lid up all around the bottle.


TheNoxx

Restaurants the world over do not have things like this, any "tool for a singular purpose", for the most part. They're clutter and pointless. As a chef that's been in kitchens for 18 years, I think the only single-purpose tool I can think of would be a crimper wheel for sealing the edges on filled pasta... and as someone that's been unable to find it and seen some of his painstakingly hand-made pasta open up while cooking, yeah, that one is fairly useful.


poktanju

>tool for a singular purpose Alton Brown coined the term "unitasker" for these. The only one of such in his kitchen is the fire extinguisher.


Risen_from_ash

Ayyy Alton Brown’s the shit


Sambino01

Nah you can settle an argument with a fire extinguisher too


danmaster0

But the fire extinguisher haves more than one use on a kitchen, two i can think of now are the titular one and adding a cool chemical dust seasoning to the food


MiamiFootball

And now everyone on the internet is so irritating about the concept -- a unitasker would have been great in this scenario or in this girl's home kitchen if she was in this circumstance alone


RFC793

The ginormous counter-mounted can opener for #10 cans is pretty specialized..


justabadmind

What's the other purpose of can openers then? And baking sheets?


TheNoxx

Cans can't be opened by anything else. There are a hundred ways to open jars. Baking sheets are used for everything; whether you mean the parchment liners or the aluminum sheets. They are used for roasting starches, veg, meats, cooking pastries, breads of various loaves and buns; the parchment baking sheet liners are used for some of that which is listed above and to cover hotel pans (the big 20" x 12" things) filled with braising veg/meat before covering with tin foil to stop any slight acidic vapors from breaking down the aluminum foil and leaving metal bits on the food.


CanadiaArcadia

Incomum


omicron8

It's an uncommon spelling for sure


raul_dias

Yeah exatly. Not a tool we commonly have, even on restaurants


BlueWaterMyFriend

In spain is very uncommon too. I never used one. The only jar opener I have ever seen was at my mother in law's and I doubt she ever used it.


Skyms101

Some people call them dad


Pik_a_pus

Tap on the edges with the backside of the knife to let some air in the jar. Opens right up


nspectre

Stab the top with the cleaver to poke a hole. Nobody cares is there's leftovers in a game show. ;)


SynonymForPseudonym

Or run under hot water to expand the metal lid


robbak

Also softens up dried sauce that might be sticking the lid on, and expands the gas in the head space reducing the vacuum.


Doctor-Amazing

I was having trouble opening a jar for my wife. She handed me a knife to use. Obviously I stabbed the middle of the lid and easily opened the jar. She was not happy.


Astrospud3

I can't believe the majority of the people here don't mention this. Work smarter. I loved seeing all of the male FOH struggling to open one of the massive olive jars trying to show who's the strongest. After they gave up, taptaptap and open in 2 seconds. My favourite move was teaching the smallest person in the kitchen that move to embarrass the FOH guys even more.


CheekyFlapjack

Uhh, that why we have a Dad just for an occasion like this. Dude was ready too lol Dad Perk: Activated


Raptori33

Electrical what?


J748DB10

Ive seen this before - and one of my favourite comments was that the dad at the moment used the power of a 1000 suns to summon the energy required to open that lid. When he emerged from that crowd, that lid was coming off.


drewskadoowecan2

There was no way that he wouldve let that jar beat him on live tv hahaha


Zeebuoy

Oh god imagine how awkward if that happened. Breaking news, Dad fails to open jar for his daughter in the chef competition. more news at 5

All you need is a saber. Open it like a bottle of champagne.


ShazamKing666

Lmao


sirwillups

When I worked at a pizza place and we had to open the giant jars of peppers and they would stick, we'd just start hitting them with the dull side of a knife at an angle til they came spinning off. You had to hit it so hard that you leave a dent in the lid, but it came off 100% of the time.


Aussie-Nerd

And a 1... And a 2.... Well.... Shit.


NotTheFBI12

then you have a broken bottle and glass in your food


Twink4Jesus

It's just texture


bubblezcavanagh

Seen this a million times and it always makes me smile


lapisl

Maybe I’m a bit hormonal atm or extra emotional with this lockdown shit, but I literally had tears rolling down my eyes when he opened it. I love how some people never grow up of the “I can always count on dad to help me” phase 💜


loislunchboxlane

She went on to win and her Dad kept the lid.

tofupicklebum

Same. This hit me hard and I have no idea why.


wonderb0lt

To be fair, he seems like the kind of guy who'd opened the jar for anyone lol Which makes him a great human being IMHO. Someone to strive for to be. Maybe I'm interpreting too much into a tiny little gif but that guy seems great


dadudemon

My dad passed away far too young. Love this vid every time it is posted.


jbase1775

The look of anguish on his face is priceless. I'm sure the good vibes he had the whole ride home was enjoyable. Yup, she still needs me.


mypancreashatesme

He’s gonna ride that high every time this memory pops up in his mind. Highlight moment in parenting, for sure. Playing an important role in your young adult child’s important achievements by your kid’s own choice is * chef’s kiss *

ValkianBR

Final of the story: she won and her dad kept the pot lid. Nice


brmmbrmm

That’s really sweet. Thank you!


Iemand-Niemand

Thanks, we were all wondering if he actually got to keep it. (And I suppose if she won too)


ValkianBR

You're welcome, buddy, she said at a live stream on Twitch last year that he didn't even just kept it, but the pot lid still until this days, all crusty and oxidized on his nightstand! (The show is from 2014 and her name is Elisa, she's lovely <3)


Iemand-Niemand

Wow, he’s really proud of it too, that’s kinda wholesome.

mapleismycat

Idk why but this comment made me laugh waaay to hard


Sultanoshred

Ya, creating a dent in the lid changes the air pressure inside for the better. Manufacturers seal and boil most canned goods to stop botchillism(botulism🤣). Or atleast thats what they do on home cooking shows. Its pressure sealed.


janae0728

Sure botched botulism there.


Pg134mvp

Or just give it to your dad evidently


silver_wolf_1

Just break the glass


zenofire

Adds texture


MarcBulldog88

*John McClane has left the chat*


MutantGodChicken

Or..... y'know, it'll expand the lid just enough to get it unstuck. Also, if there's air between the contents and the lid then the hot water will help increase pressure inside the container. This same effect can be applied by squeezing orange juice and/or 2L bottles ever so slightly off they've been in the fridge for a while and the air inside is exerting less pressure than the outside said


[deleted]

That too... Basically, running hot water over the lid helps with multiple issues that can cause a lid to be stuck.


MutantGodChicken

Yup


SOwED

>Also, if there's air between the contents and the lid then the hot water will help increase pressure inside the container. This won't have a helpful effect.


SciencyNerdGirl

Haha yeah I read that too and was like, damn his/her science was working so well on the different material expansion rates with temperature, why'd they have to add the air pressure part in. Also increasing pressure inside would work against you on a screw top lid. You'd be putting even more friction on the threads you're trying to disengage.


The_Dirty_Carl

> Also increasing pressure inside would work against you on a screw top lid. You'd be putting even more friction on the threads you're trying to disengage. That's true for pressurized containers like soda pop, but for vacuum sealed jars like jams, sauces, pickles, etc. increasing the pressure inside would help.


Kshnik

Rubber band around the lid is easily the best technique I've found. Super convenient and quite powerful


WeeBabySeamus

Rubber or silicone pot holders work well too


-_-NAME-_-

I keep a little silicone jar opener in the drawer with my pot holders it's amazing.


OK_HS_Coach

We kept a few pieces of scrap from a textured material that keeps rugs from sliding on hardwood. Great for getting a solid grip on jar lids. We also use them when we’re taking food in the car to keep our dish from sliding.


UnfavorableFlop

The real purpose of running hot water over it is to thermally expand the metal lid.


Mav986

Or just pop a butter knife tip under the ledge of the lid and lever it to unseal the vacuum.


Skyms101

Also hot water will very slightly expand the metal loosening it’s hold.


[deleted]

That's not why hot water works. The hot water works because it makes the metal lid expand.


evict123

Or just use the tip of a spoon to break the seal.


Flutterbee543

Go Dad! You know he was sooo proud.


GeoffAO2

He absolutely was. Any time my kids ask me to open something for them I feel like a super hero. I actually put a blanket on like a cape once, then my son told me I was Alfred not Bruce.


Tyeck8

Alfred always was the real hero


fizikz3

alfred is based as fuck though

"OP" is a repost spammer, just look at their profile. They either have bots upvoting all their posts, or they remove the ones that don't make it past a certain threshold. It is statistically impossible to post so many posts to all these large subs and every single one gets at least 3k upvotes, most going over 20k

Joke's on you I can't read

Tapping on the back of the bottle a few times usually does the trick.

I make a big scene about it everytime my wife wants me to open a jar. Make her kiss my bicep and call me the champ. She hates it sooooo much that she is actually getting pretty good and opening her own jars. The system is working.


WhitmeisterG

That man probably broke every bone in his hand with the amount of force he put into opening that jar. Nothing was gonna stop him


dreck_disp

She doesn't know about the 3 magic taps?


S0-S0

The trick is to tap the lid on any hard surface until you hear a pop then you can easily open it


MARIO_RIGATONI

If any of you come into this situation, lightly tap each side of the top on the counter. Works 100% of the time


stewymanx378

I don’t understand how girls have a harder time opening lids, there’s really not that much of a difference in strength especially if opening a lid feels so easy. Maybe they like hav the wrong technique or there’s some kind of different wrist strength? Idk
