you can tap the edges on the counter top, run it under warm water, or pop the bottom until you hear the seal at the top pop. this should help relieve pressure! good luck and enjoy your salsa!

warm water (hot) run around the lid ,soon as the salsa on the threads soften, (this is why it wont open ) if you hit it on the counter and its glass 90 % Chance you will break the jar! never hit it, plus it will damage your counter , and when the glass brakes you will or can cut your self hospital ER rooms, are full of people getting there hands sowed up from this ,so be smart use water , or a John Wayne can opener , U.S.Military uses this to this current date, for opening things like cans or jars in the Field, it will open guaranteed, don't pry bend hit throw , don't know where these people learned this crap maybe Jerry Springer

Run hot water in the kitchen sink. Hold the jar so that ONLY the metal top of the jar is in the water flow for about 30 seconds. Wipe it dry. Should open right up.

Put it under a tap of hot water for 1 minute. That will cause the thin layer of rubber to become soft which will allow you to open the jar. If all else fails use a Bowa-Constricter (Tool for opening all shapes and sizes normally found in your local hardware store).

run the lid under hot tap water for a few seconds then try it . Run under hot water again if it doesn't work the first time. You may need a little bit of strength. GL

Run the lid under hot water for a few minutes. This will cause the metal lid to expand and loosen up a little.

get a spoon and put it under the top so that you get air in the jar... the little thing in the middle will pop up once air gets in and it should be a lot easier to open... good luck!

Use as bottle opener to gently pry up the side of the lid and let some air in.
