Question & Answer

We are discussing The Self Management of Arthritis
With Graeme Rossiter, Elizabeth Scrivener and Sally Ranford

 

Question:
My fingers are very stiff and I have difficulty opening jars - especially for the first time. Help!

Answer:
Sally - We all understand the frustration of trying to open a jar for the very first time - some lids are so tight that you just give up in exasperation.

There are several products on the market that do assist to break the air or vacuum seal on a jar and these include:
-Jarpop jar opener (breaks the seal without any twisting action required)
-Homecraft Spill Not Jar and Bottle Opener
-Magitwist Jar Opener
-Swingaway Jar and Bottle Opener

For more information on these and other jar opener products go to:

-Select State/Territory of your choice
