how do I get the lids off of the glass container. They are too tight to get off

You can run hot water over them and they come right off. Especially when you wash in dishwasher they go on and off smoothly. They need the heat. I love my so much, they are not messy etc. Hope this helps you!

The lids on the Pyrex are air tight which is what you want for food storage. The larger ones are easier to get off, however, I have rh.arthitis so at times it is a little difficult. The small Pyrex such as the one cup, is very difficult and takes me a few tries to get it off. As you use them, the lids become a bit more flexable, be sure NOT to put the lids in the dishwasher, I wash them by hand.

The lids are not snap ons like a Rubbermaid container. Along the inside edge of the lid there is a recessed band of a foam type material that makes an air tight fit when the top is latched down onto the container portion.

The top and the bottom separate, just a little force or pressure will do the trick. They definitely fit really snug. Try pulling the top apart then the bottom then following the open edge. Hope this helps!

You need to twist it off. it is kind of tricky, but just be patient and hold the bottom part and twist the lid. if you look at the lid, you can see there is a part that locks on the bottom part.

I cannot as I have not had to replace only lids. My newer corningware dish lids are tight on my older dishes but work just fine.

Unlock the 4 clips and lift the lid off by the 2 clear tabs on the lid. Very simple when you see it.

Just dont crank the lid down tight. They're designed to spin the lid down, and once it stops on its own it's sealed.

Turn it counter clockwise. If it sticks continue to turn and gently pull up. Once the plastic lid is off the stainless part should fall out. If not just tap it. Peter

The lids unscrew if you turn them counter clockwise. Hold on to the metal ring with one hand and the glass jar with the other.

The tops are made to fit snugly over open cans, but are so tight that it's almost impossible to get them on without crushing the can and spilling all the contents. Don't even attempt to use mine anymore :(

When I freeze them I put clips onto the sticks to keep them straight. This makes getting the lid off much easier. I dip it - 2 pops at a time - in a container with warm to hot water. The container is wide enough and deep enough to dip them all the way to the top (that's important, otherwise the bottom will melt and the top will still be stuck). Then I wiggle and tug on the popsicle sticks until I get them out. You can also just let them sit on the counter for a few minutes. The trick is getting them out before they start melting or getting mushy. Good luck!

Try thisPush down on the lid hardwhile you turn the keyThe safe has a rubber seal that can be tight preventing the lid from opening

pop the top(the "handle" it takes a little effort!)then take off the clear plastic part. The cap on the bottom acts as a funnel to help! let me know if that helps!

I found it easier to take the lid apart once I realized I need to pull the top off, not try to pry the bottom. I'm talking about the very top part of the lid. Just pop it from the rest. Once my husband showed me, I had to laugh at how frustrated I had been trying to get it apart. Good luck.

I have had this problem also..I took 2 inch metal pain scraper put it on one of the humps on the lid and tapped it with a hammer. It took a few tries but it jarred it enough so I could unscrew it. Good Luck!

If this happens I unsnap the other three and make sure to use more pressure pushing down on the lid before snapping them close again. That always does the trick and I hope it helps you.

The lid screws off then there is a sifter with a piece of plastic/tape over it - Peel back that tape/plastic & it comes right out of the sifters(&sometimes; maybe a little too much comes out so be careful!!) :)
