What was my life before I received the OXO Good Grips jar opener with base pad? I think I remember, unopened jars, dented jars, broken glass and lots of frustration. The Good Grips jar opener is definitely one of those kitchen gadgets that you didn’t know you needed. It makes opening jars very easy. Just place a jar on the on the base pad, put the teeth of the jar opener on the lid and turn it counterclockwise while you hold the jar with the other hand. It works with multiple different size jars. This is awesome for anyone who has trouble opening jars. The Good Grips jar opener has stainless steel grip teeth, has a non slip grip handle and is dishwasher safe. I am very happy with the OXO Good Grips jar opener with base pad.
