Warming the lid under hot tap water, and gripping it with a hand towel when opening so it isn’t slippery, will also open it much more easily without the risk of chipping glass or damaging lids for something that might need re-closing like pickles vs one-time use like pasta sauce.
Or you can buy a pair of “strap wrenches” used in automotive and plumbing work, for less than $20. I suggest these instead of other kitchen aid devices because many of the made-for-kitchen ones are shit. My elderly MIL uses these all the time.
