    If it’s really bad (sometimes you just can’t get a good grip), you can break the seal by pushing the lid up or prying a bit, there’s tools that do just that, I’m totally guilty of leveraging it a bit with a crappy butter knife.

      Or just puncture the lid. Makes the open-and-closed-again jar spoil much faster than without the hole, but I’d assume that bending it out of shape probably has the same effect.

        If you’re lifting the edge up, it’s gonna spring back at least somewhat afterwards. And the thread is still in place to do most of the holding the lid in place.
