Know before you buy
The JarKey works by leveraging the edge of the lid to gently lift it, which breaks the vacuum seal. Once the seal is popped, the pressure is released, allowing you to unscrew the lid with minimal effort.
Yes, it is specifically designed for that purpose. Because it eliminates the need to grip and twist against a tight vacuum seal, it requires very little physical force to operate.
The JarKey is designed to be gentle. It creates a small release point for the vacuum, but it does not typically deform the lid, meaning you can usually reuse the jar and lid for storage after opening.
It is highly effective on standard vacuum-sealed glass jars, such as those used for pickles, sauces, or jams. It may not be effective on plastic containers or lids that do not rely on a vacuum seal.
Yes, the tool is dishwasher safe. Its simple, one-piece construction means there are no small crevices or moving parts where food residue can hide.
