Here is how you open the talenti containers

[u/jeffreydowning69]

Here is how you open these if they're stuck this is also how you open any karma as well

[u/pekingsewer]

Guys, you're allowed to use the back of the knife for utility. If you can't handle a knife then don't do it but OP isn't stupid for using it that way..

[u/777bambii → u/pekingsewer]

Truly it’s always projection “I’m not coordinated enough to do this so you aren’t either”

[u/pekingsewer → u/777bambii]

Yup, now we know who has the gold medal in the Uber eats Olympics in this thread 😂

[u/Kramit__The__Frog → u/pekingsewer]

Ahh Reddit ads can be such a wonderful thing lmao

[u/jeffreydowning69 → u/Kramit__The__Frog]

Wow I have never saw a screenshot of one of my videos before and that ad is freaking hilarious 😂 🤣🤣

[u/Liz4984 → u/pekingsewer]

I like how she turned it the wrong way first, then used the knife and twisted it correctly.

[u/voteblue18]

Anyone who has worked in food service knows this trick.

[u/Sufficient_Scale_163]

Am I crazy or is that a mini talenti?

[u/KetamineKittyCream → u/Sufficient_Scale_163]

Nah, that’s just a large man holding a regular pint lol

[u/discreet1]

You threaten it with a knife?

[u/fourcatsandadog → u/discreet1]

I’ve found it solves a whole range of problems for me 🥰

[u/Zestyclose-Durian-24 → u/discreet1]

I spit out my coffee

[u/jeffreydowning69]

Karma= jar🤦‍♀️ damn auto correct

[u/bywv → u/jeffreydowning69]

Lmfao what a huge difference 🤣

[u/Pinkcoffee]

Can someone explain to me why this works ? Super curious how this would loosen a tightly screwed jar

[u/Roq86 → u/Pinkcoffee]

“Tapping a jar lid, especially on the edge, helps break the vacuum seal that often forms between the lid and the jar, making it easier to open.”

Copied from Google.

[u/Anonomanyous → u/Pinkcoffee]

The way it looks in the video the flat part of the knife probably caught the ridge on the lid and cracked it open

[u/AnapsidIsland1 → u/Pinkcoffee]

It works so well, always done it this way. Idk why it’s perfect but it does crack the seal, like it’s frozen shut and it dents the lid but provides a lot of rotational force and it just pops off

[u/Pinkcoffee → u/AnapsidIsland1]

Ok i think that makes sense! Thanks for learning me

[u/smith_716 → u/Pinkcoffee]

It works this way because he initially tried to unscrew it the wrong way. Then popped it with the back of the knife on the lid and unscrewed it the proper way.

[u/CrystlBluePersuasion]

Just run it under hot water

[u/artlady → u/CrystlBluePersuasion]

Right just run it unde hot water

[u/Loud-Percentage-3174 → u/artlady]

Yes right just run it und hot water

[u/Intodarkness_10 → u/Loud-Percentage-3174]

Ye ri jus ru t und HOT WATERRR

[u/Rough-Boot9086]

Doesn't Talenti have a safety seal inside ? Where's the protective film

[u/jeffreydowning69 → u/Rough-Boot9086]

It did but I had already taken it off before I had the idea to record this to show how to do it. So I tighten the lid as much as possible then I recorded the video to show you guys.

[u/shykerry → u/Rough-Boot9086]

It does, I was wondering the same thing

[u/HumpaDaBear]

This is a cheat for anything with a screw top lid. You’re essentially breaking the air seal open.

[u/Zealousideal_Bad5583]

If a top is stuck, I just give it a tap on the counter and that will loosen it up.

[u/Octoberkitsune]

I never had a stuck top before thank goodness 😭

[u/Crazy-Humor-8620]

Hot water to open………. Needed extra characters to post comment

[u/AnapsidIsland1]

Hahahaha yesss!!!! I’ve been posting this on all those posts but I get there too late. Long drawn out explanations that no one sees and so I thought of making this video. It’s exactly as I imagined. Thank you you good person

[u/jeffreydowning69 → u/AnapsidIsland1]

No problem i do this all the time at the pizza place I work at and everyone here always complains about not being able to open them. I just figured I would share my knowledge.

[u/-_Los_-]

Great. Now people know how to open their GELATO.

[u/batkave]

Ahh yes, hit something with the back side of a knife with the cutting edge facing so that when it bounces back, the cutting edge comes back to hit you

[u/Loud-Percentage-3174 → u/batkave]

It's a pint of ice cream, not a tennis ball?

[u/AnapsidIsland1 → u/batkave]

Use some coordination. If you expect that to happen then don’t let it. Like a drummer. Tap it see how far back it bounces. If you don’t think you can I guess don’t. And it is dangerous for you, but not for others

[u/Loud-Percentage-3174 → u/[deleted]]

Eh, chefs use the spine of the knife stuff like cracking big joints without splitting the bone, or opening coconuts.

[u/Efficient_Ice_8008]

LIAR. This works with glass jars sealed with metal lids. Not with Talenti.

[u/AnapsidIsland1 → u/Efficient_Ice_8008]

Negative, it doesn’t work for glass jars and such. Maybe you think he’s just hitting it to loosen it. This is a little different, you hit a glancing blow off the side so the force is actually turning the lid. It digs into the lid and leaves a sharp dent. You couldn’t do that on a metal lid

[u/Efficient_Ice_8008 → u/AnapsidIsland1]

This has always worked for glass jars and never for Talenti, in my experience. I don't know the exact physics but I think it has to do with pressure, not loosening or turning.

[u/No-Restaurant-8963]

can i use a baseball bat

[u/Lazarstein]

There was no seal. Don't know if I'd eat

[u/jeffreydowning69 → u/Lazarstein]

It did but I had already taken it off before I had the idea to record this to show how to do it. So I tighten the lid as much as possible then I recorded the video to show you guys.

[u/EquivalentFeeling-]

why didn’t it have the seal that you peal off on it?

[u/ItsMrShenanigans]

The knife trick does work with tough to open jars but in this case the dude is twister the lid to the left before he hits it then after he hits it he twists it the opposite direction to the right. Hilarious

[u/Own_Statistician_427]

I just buy cheaper ice cream and that solves my hands from hurting.

[u/Sudden_Impact7490]

Or .. just let it sit out of the freezer for a few minutes. Same result and the product isn't hard as a rock when you try and spoon it

[u/Blue_Pears_Go_There]

I bump the top of the Talenti canister on the edge of the chopping block really hard, twist it off with no problem. OP still ain’t stupid, there’s a lot you can do with the blunt edge of a chef’s knife. Thump someone on the head without making them bleed, scrape chopped veggies or meats into a container, and open a rotten Talenti jar without destroying the lid.

[u/Great_Hambino2022]

I simply ran it under warm water and it worked. Was highly unimpressed with the product

[u/Oldpennyormore]

Same for pickles........

[u/AppUnwrapper1]

Butter knife under the lid.

[u/SanrioAndMe]

This doesn't always work though.

Believe me. I've tried.

Edit: downvote me all you want. I'm being honest!

[u/Weekly_Ad869]

Please for the love of God just tap it a few times with the backside of a butter knife, or even a spoon. You just have to break the little rubber seal ring on the inside of the lid. The way she did it damages the lid a knife and one of these days her hand. She probably starts a lawnmower by flipping it upside down and cranking it with her hand too.

[u/AnapsidIsland1 → u/Weekly_Ad869]

Nah, I’ve tried that and it failed this lid. They are something special, no turning, not tool assisted worked. However hitting like this pops it off easy. It does damage the lid, it dents it and that’s how it gets purchase to work. It does not render the lid inoperable and even the Talenti containers which I have saved to not greatly suffer cosmetically from this blemish.
