Yes DJ have used that method- but the filter wrench saves the need for boiling the kettle of firing up the boiler, and is instant!.

A lot of the tough opening jars are from our own preserving.


Seeker - If you put the wrench around the bottom of the bottle then placed it on the floor (not carpeted) foot on wrench and undo with good hand. May work or may not - probably not but one has to think of something in these times.

With glass jars if you pierce the metal cap it makes it easier to open.

I guess that releases the vacuum. Might be a good idea to tape over the hole afterwards if you're only using part of the contents.

Just registered on facebook yesterday as I wanted to contribute to a local history group. Was accepted and posted one message on the history site, received an email showing a reply saying my comments were fantastic, then today I receive an email from facebook saying my account has been disabled because I didn't meet community standards and I can't use it. Asked for a review and was asked to send a photo of myself that would not be shown on my profile. Sent photo. Now find I cannot even view the local history group even though I could at least view it before I registered on facebook ! Does anybody know what might be happening?

yeah, Facebook are busy extracting/decompiling every aspect of your life and your friend's lives to bombard you with ads and sell your privacy as they promote misinformation and erode democracy.

...oops, I may have got a bit carried away there. I may not be a F/b fan.

Sorry, but I have no idea. Good luck.

Thanks anyway. I only joined because I wanted to contribute to a local history group. I have no desire to contact people on facebook and was wary of providing personal information. I am trying to contact facebook now to see if I can find out what is happening.
