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

A pair of pliers to pull out the rubber seal and release the lower pressure inside.

Just hold it under a warm tap to expand the air inside this will reduce
the pressure and make opening much easier.
