how does it do on very large glass metal lid pickle jars which tend to have SMOOTH sides which the contents are in a partial vacuum.

I had never tried to open pickles before but since you asked, I got out a jar of pickles and opened them, they open just like any other jar, I have never had a jar that it could not open. I don't open jars everyday but I do have a little arthritis in my hands and I love the opener.

It does great! I have especially used it for pickle jars which have become difficult for me to open. I have had no problems opening anything, large or small. One person recently asked me if it mars plastic lids when opening them and I hadn't had experience with that at that time. I did open a jar with a plastic lid the other day and it does mar it some--although this particular jar and lid were not something I cared about keeping anyway it didn't matter, but good to know in case it does. Hope this helps--I love my EZ Off Jar Opener and also have a second one for my RV.

Hi Nikolas, It will open regular and vacuum-style screw top jars with lid diameters of from 1.3" to about 4" , hope this helps!

Slowly. But its acceptable. I do like this product a lot. Ive tried many shakers and so far this is best. Mainly because i can get the lid off.

The bottom is indeed smooth and should not scratch the glass used for ranges. As for its performance, I am unable to answer because my experience with this product is on my gas range.

Actually, that is exactly what I use. I picked up an old lid at a garage sale, and it seems to work well, not an exact fit, but close enough.

I found that if you put things on it with much weight it was difficult to turn. I was originally going to use it in a cabinet with glass spice jars, but ended up using it for storing jars of mineral makeup instead. It also makes a weird grinding sound if you turn it too fast.

My Anchor Hocking 1.5 gallon jar has tight, well fitting lids. The lids are metal with a plastic "lip" around the inside and not in the least flimsy. I do not put my lids in the dishwasher.

very smooth even loaded with canned and jarred goods, yes if not too much weight is on it. I have not tried to spin it hard, it is in the back corner of a deep cupboard, but being able to spin it to find grocery items is great.

My wife said that the jars keep to the side and do not touch much. We had another one for about 20 years but it was just like this one.

We have a GE and I have used the small skrapr a couple of times. It seemed to damage the glass a bit, but I wondered if it was because of the grittiness of what I was trying to clean. Hope this helps.

I just keep mine in a very clean glass jar with a tight lid and have not had any problems!

I have used Mason jars with no problem and made no adjustments. I did put water in the yogurt maker to fill the gap to help with heat transfer from the yogurt maker to the glass jar.

Not smooth. Circular ridges on the bottom. Canning is generally not ideally performed on glass top ranges since some heat transfer is lost when not in full contact with range.However I do use this canner on a flat electric (metal) range. The smaller pint size may work on glass top, but just remember that heat loss will usually require more time to bring to (& maintain) boil.

Yes. Close smaller jar with its lid very, very lightly closed against its glass edge. Put it in the larger jar or vacuum canister. Suck the air out of the larger jar. The vacuum in the larger jar will also suck the air out of the smaller jar and suck its lid tight. Break the vacuum on the large jar and remove the small jar. Then give the lid on the small jar a good twist to seal it tight. I've done this with no problem at all. Although, I'm using a DIY system made from a bicycle pump. It can pull about 25 inches Hg of vacuum !!!

I tried to open a large pickle jar and even though it fit around the lid, it cracked right in the middle. I ended up buying a battery operated one that works great.

this is a great product. It can open large, wide bodied pickle jars. Say 5 inches.

It happened to me when I filled the jar to close to the top. My pickles were fine, the next time I didn't fill as full.
