You know the scene well—standing there, jar in hand, determination etched across your face, all in the pursuit of a bite of pickles. You heave and grunt, and that lid still isn’t budging. Well, guess what? It doesn’t need that much effort at all.
Taking to TikTok, domestic queen Martha Stewart has resurfaced a kitchen hack that she swears by. Sometimes, store-bought openers just won’t help with opening a stuck jar, she acknowledges. But your hand will.
Stewart says using thick rubber bands will help twist those pesky canisters open.
“Three fat rubber bands,” she proclaims. “They’ll really give you that grip you need to open a stubborn jar lid.”

Stewart didn’t invent the trick, of course. Viewers have pointed out that they’d learn this pro-tip from their grandmothers and great-grandmothers.
Nevertheless, her video has likely left an impact on younger audiences, and it has amassed over 640,000 views.
