I always have a problem opening Klner jars, the type with a glass lid.
Releasing the vacuum can be a PITA, the problem is one can easily chip

In France you can buy a tool like a giant sardine can opener. It works just like that - wrap the tongue on the seal round it and pull. Unfortunately my jars of fruit are in England and the opener is in France!
