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 opening them?

I passed a charity shop the other day that had a box of a dozen Kilner jars
for sale. They were of the older type, with metal screw sections. They
were extremely rusty, and I wouldn't have wanted to put anything remotely
edible in them.

They wanted £50 for them!
