How can I remove the lids that are stuck on to my jars?

You can run them under really hot water and if that doesn't work take a spoon and wedge it between the glass and lid and lift it a bit

I have that problem too! I thought it was from the sticky turmeric and honey I had in it. Hot water?

Your reCap lid or a regular canning jar lid? My reCap has never been "stuck" I've had to ask my husband to use his muscle to assist me though.

sometimes my husband will bring home a jar that has been in his vehicle for days with residual protein shake inside that has effectively cemented the cap on the jar. I have successfully removed the cap after soaking the entire jar and cap (weighted down) under water then turning the jar upside down and running hot water around the rim then tapping the cap gently on a folded towel before turning the cap off.

I unsnap the lids and leave them setting loose on top of the container. I suppose if you are worried about the whole plastic issue you could instead cover with a paper towel. Whatever you do, just do not microwave with the lids locked on.

There is a tan colored slide lock on both lids. Slide it towards the outside. o me the lock is a waste of time it stays closed without it. The you grab the center wavy plastic part of the lid and turn it so the arrows line up then lift up. Sometimes it gets hard to open so I close it back then try again or try the other lid. If the arrows are lined up you may need to pry it up maybe the store glued it on or something.

Hummmm...I'm not sure how you're trying to open them if it's causing difficulty. If you use a flat head screwdriver, and pry all around the can, like a pain can, it should pop right off. I'm sorry, I don't have any other suggestions, if you were opening it as I mentioned :-( Good luck!

You know, I'm not 100 percent sure, but I 'believe' the lower jar is a standard size. You might want to go to BB&B; and see if they have the canisters in stainless, or something, that have that lid sealing apparatus already on it, then you just replace the top back with the Hario, you can see how to take the top off, just pinch those stainless pins together and remove it. If it's a standard size, you can even re-use the boot on the bottom and re-attach it so it won't slip. Or just use one of those rubber drawer lining pads they sell that is perforated but 'grips', but it should work.

I never use the lids. I have three just sitting in my cabinet. Let me know if you want me to send you one of mine. Otherwise, I would get in touch with the manufacturer. Thanks, Elizabeth

There are small protrusions on the lip of the lid so that it doesn't fall off. You cock the lid to the side to raise and remove it.

Yes the lids on the small jars screw on and off you can also remove the foam from the jars.

glue them on or drill tiny hole in each end cap & into handle. then use correct size screw to fasten them on. that way you can always remove them later on if needed.

The lids can be removed by taking the cheaper metal contraption off. There are small indentations where they fit in. I don't know what kind of lid you're going to replace them with so I don't know for sure, but these have a rubber gasket or washer, an orange soft plastic and the main lid is a White plastic. The rubber washer comes off easily, so be careful when washing them. When I put my bottles in the dishwasher I always take off the rubber so the heat doesn't wear them out.

http://nchfp.uga.edu/how/general/recomm_jars_lids.html the national center for home food preparation (yep, there really is one) recommends following each manufacture's direction on box, but I was taught that keeping them hot in a water bath helps with them not wanting to slip off after placement. As I can be a bit clutzy, I need all the help I can get!

No. The lids aren't true seals for the jars. These are more of a table decorative item

Try taking the lid off when it is not sealed. Then seal it and try it again. You'll have major trouble removing the lid if it's sealed.

The lids will not come off, but the container is not spill proof... So anything with liquids can leak Into the other parts of container.

Very simple...open the gripper teeth larger than your lid (turn counter-clockwise). Place opener flat on jar lid & turn handle clockwise until tight. If you're holding the handle in your left hand, push the handle away from you. Note: The lid you're trying to remove must be larger than 3/4" in diameter.

Remove the strap (I'm sure you did that already but just in case) and put your hands on either side of the lid where the strap used to be. Use your fingers to push in the plastic tabs and lift up. The lid should come right off. The plastic tabs on the lid fit into slots on either side of the base.

The lids stay on. There is a tab at one of the corners (not shown in the picture) that you sue to take off the lids. Otherwise, it would be a little hard to get them off. However, it is easy if you use the tab. So they stay on very well but are also relatively easy to take off.
