1 year on e and I am actually SO weak now, I had to ask my dad to put some weights back on the rack for me when we went to the gym 😭
I used to be able to do 450lb leg press 5 times in a row what happened
I don’t absolutely hate myself anymore so that’s going for me :steamhappy:
Time for strategy to replace brawn. Most jars will open easily if you can release the vacuum. Imho the best thing to use is a bottle opener/can piercer, using the rounded end and very gently just barely lifting the edge of the lid. You don’t want to break/chip any glass or bend the lid so far its functionality is compromised.
SO THAT’S WHAT THAT POINTY THING IS?!
Only took 30-something trips around the sun to figure that one out…
The pointy end is to pierce the can of evaporated milk or broth. Always make two opposite holes so air can get in. If you have no proper can opener, and something more solid in the can, you can keep going making triangle holes until you can lift up the now-star-shaped lid to get out whatever you couldn’t pour through the first 2 triangles. For jar lids used the round end unless you’re going to use it all and don’t mind accidentally poking a hole in the lid instead of just lifting up the side a little.
I was taught to whack the edge of the jar with the dull side of a butter knife. This releases the vacuum.
It dull side doesn’t work, hit the jar edge with the handled of the knife.
Whack the edge of the lid.
That usually works but then there’s the time it releases the vacuum by breaking the jar. Maybe it’s because I’m a klutz but my mom taught me the slow and gentle way.
She did let me whack the Pillsbury though
