Is the gallon container of coconut oil really hard to open?

I did not buy the gallon container. I can only imagine it is a pull off lid.

I would like to know if this can be frozen, and not change the attributes of the product. Also, what is the shelf life if unfrozen?

I've never had a gallon container, so I can't honestly answer this question.

yeah, a little tricky. There's a small tab to the left, just move it out a little and the compartment will open up. Others have had the same problem.

I think it is, but I have only opened it that high once. It did take a little work to get it closed. You only have to put it up a little higher than your jar is high. Perhaps your jars are too big for the opener to work its best.

I find it very difficult too, but have found that by putting the container in the sink, so it is lower than when on the counter, it is easier to get the lid on and off. I also use both thumbs to push it down. Other than that, it is difficult, but there sure are never any leaks!

I think the "trick" is to first open up the small top opening of the jar lid to make sure a vacuum hasn't formed inside the jar. That worked for me for that one time when it was difficult to open. The lady of the house ran into that problem only once, and no complaints from her after that one incident.

Very easy to open, yes, but still tight enough of a seal that product will not spill out.

I just got these and unlike many reviewers, I do find them difficult to open. I would say they are about as easy to open as the clear produce bags you find at the grocery store, which I also struggle with.

If the seal is too tight I use a bottle cap opener. I will also turn the jar upside down and give the bottom a firm hit a few times. Hope this helps :)

It was a little difficult to open, but I just pulled it pretty hard and it eventually opened. I didn't use anything besides my nails.

When I first received this it was extremely hard to open it, just kept trying and it opened. Sorry, not a big help but my experience. -Peace

I find it easier to open if I hold it with my thumb on the silver thumbscrew and index finger on the black knob. It should open relatively easily with a fluid motion of both fingers. Push up with your thumb and pull back with your index. It shouldn't need oiling if it's brand new.

Not exactly. There's a screwtop-covered opening from which it is fairly easy to pour. I recently used a small funnel to make this job easier, pouring the used oil into the original jug from whence it came.

Just take the bottom and top half and twist. It can be kind of difficult to open, I still struggle with mine.

Yes. I've opened smaller and "normal" sized jars single handedly. Large jars would likely be difficult with one hand.

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.

The caps are really, really hard to close. Hold the bottle tight and put the palm of your hand flat against the top of the cap and press down hard. Twist the cap a little and it will "snuggle" in. It is difficult every time but once you get the knack you will get used to it. You'd think they'd know better than to make it so hard but it is good fish oil so I'll take a difficult cap over a bad product.
