How do you open the jar after it has sealed without bending the lid? On some of my other jar lids when I open them there is sometimes a little dent in the lid. What kind of opener do you use to prevent the dent?

I use a butter knife and gently pry up the edge without cutting the rubber ring. We also have a bottle opener that works great. It's not the pointed style, but shaped kind of like a 0 if you know what I mean. Anyway, again, we just gently catch the plastic edge, avoiding the rubber ring so it doesn't get damaged. Hope this helps!

I have been buying this product for years and have never had this issue like this one. Some one strong than yourself to open it :-)), or a rubber lid gripper you can find in most grocery stores. Good Luck, it's a great product!

I just looked at mine. I noticed that I also had something rattling around inside. Sounded like a small piece of plastic. I saw no easy way to open. It doesn't affect the operation. I'm going to leave it and not worry about it. It's probably just something loose from the manufacturing process.

I don't know what kind of openers u bought...were they the kind you'd use to open soup for instance? The one I use (bought through amazon I think) has an edge, to pry up the can (like u do with paint cans). It also has a magnet to put lid back on, but I don't use it, because when I light them, they're on til they're empty. A screwdriver works just as good.I hope that answers your question. Lmk if I can answer more. Thanks, and good luck!

Try using one of those rubber jar lid openers. It is hard to get the hang of it. It really does work! Good luck.

Hello, the lid hinge appears to be glued on pretty well. I'm not sure how you could actually remove it. I have the lid on my Cube just flipped backwards to keep the top part open. It'll lie flat/flush against the back of the Cube just fine and since it's clear I don't really notice it. I hope this is helpful to you. I couldn't be happier with mine.Edited to add: Oops sorry, I didn't see this had already been answered.

I agree when the lid is completely shut it is difficultto open I have used the tip of a table knife and slid it under the edge to gently pop it open. When I take it with me out of the house I don't push the lid down all the way.

I have used my rims over and over. I do not remember any being "ruined" by this opener. However, that doesn't mean one hasn't. Even the tightest of jar lids comes off easily with very little effort on human part to twist. I will say that I do eventually throw away rims and replace them if the sides get too rough, but again, I can't remember doing this a lot because of this opener. I hope this helps.

Ease of removing the lid is my only complaint. The key is lining up and removing one side at a time as they don't line up together. With the marks lined up on one side, lift the lid at that side. While holding the end up, rotate it slightly more so that the marks on the other side line up. When they do, the lid will pop up if you're still giving it upward force.

I just filled a small ball jar more than 1/2 way with water, tightened the lid and shook the heck out of it. No spills or leaks! Then I set it sort of upside down in a bowl (like it fell over in your bag) - Its been about an hour - no water in the bowl! There is no gasket but I think it'll work.

I use Mason jars for canning, processing them in a boiling water bath. After removing the ring from processed and cooled jars, a bottle opener easily lifts the metal, rubberized lid. I wonder if the jar opener, as great as it is for vacuum-sealed glass jars (olives, pickles, etc.), would catch the edge of the thin Mason jar lid. If you know someone with a Jar Pop, ask them to try it on a Mason jar.

What I got came in a jar as pictured, but with a different label (Tear Stain Pads). I just unscrewed the lid by turning it counter clockwise. Looks like there was also a liner sealing the mouth of the jar that I punctured with scissors and then peeled away.

I haven't had that problem yet, but ours has already cracked at the top so we decided to quit using it. Half the time it was difficult to open certain jars especially plastic lids. I feel its not worth the money and I advise you to return it for a refund if you can.

I use this all the time to seal mason jars. No attachments needed. Put the mason jar sealer cap on your jar. With no added attachment, place the jar sealer over the port and press slightly as you run it. You will feel air coming out of the small air release hole in front. When you no longer feel air and/or the sound changes you know your sealed. Works every time.

It hasn't been dented yet. It looks like it might easily, but I have bumped into things with it when I move it around and so far no dents. The can opener works fine. No problems there.

The packaging material/process is more expensive then the DE itself in some cases. We offer it our Jar as a convient way for our customers to use the product. You can just unscrew the lid and screw it back on again. A lot of people buy the jar along with a larger bag and then refill the jar as needed.
