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
the lid or bottle rim. Has anyone found an easy fool proof way of

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!


Ask Jeremy Clarkson. He is descended from the Kilner family!
