minus-squareNoralinkfedilink14•9 months agoJust heat up the lid a little bit.(if the lid is metal) You can use hot water, although I have found rolling the lid on my electric stove for 10-20 seconds works better because then it’s not wet after.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink14•9 months agoI’m not falling for the ol’ spicy pickle lid again
minus-square@fastandcuriousOPlink7•9 months agoI wonder if they actually use the same trick to actually put the lid on as-well to create as-tight of a seal as possible
minus-square@Alexstarfirelink8•9 months agoI assume all parts are heated first because that’s how you ensure it’s sterile. It also serves to make a slight vacuum once cooled which will keep everything sealed.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•edit-29 months agoSlide the tip of a dull knife under the side of the lid, then apply a little leverage so air can get in. Even easier, and wastes no power
minus-square@Bockylink4•9 months agoAnd also ruins the seal permanently so that they can’t be resealed well
