Re: de-capping bottled drinks with plastic seal

I have my grandmother’s jar opener. It adapts to fit any size bottle or jar. There are many types of these on Amazon.
Sometimes I use a dish towel to get a better grip on the Premier Protein top and it opens just fine. Otherwise, the ridges on it hurts my hand.

Re: de-capping bottled drinks with plastic seal

agree about using a jar-opener.   The one I have is an OXO brand (great brand for kitchen tools!) and it will open things as small as a 16oz bottle of water and as large as 4" diameter.

 

It is absolutely mind-blowing when you first get a good jar-opener.  I wanted to go around opening everything, because it was so super easy that it was shocking.   There was something one day that even my husband struggled to open, and he's pretty strong, but that jar opener took it off like nothing with ME as the operator.

 

I am not at all strong and, due to arthritis and injuries, my hands are quite weak.   You need absolutely no strength to use this thing.  It really is amazing.

 

This is the one I have.  I got mine on Amazon.  It comes with this round silicone piece that you can put under tthe item you are opening and the silicone piece fits into the back of the opener, so it won't get lost.
