It's important to make sure the surface you're working on is steady and secure before attempting to open any lids - whether they are bottles, jars, or anything else. Additionally, it's essential that your hands are dry and free from moisture. If your hands are wet or even damp, you could experience difficulty opening a lid due to the slippery nature of water combined with the friction of the sealant around the lid itself. Taking extra care in ensuring a stable work surface and dry hands will help ensure that you can quickly and easily remove those pesky lids without having to struggle too much!
