When rubber bands are stretched they release heat, which creates traction and causes the rubber band to grab ahold of things. This means you may want to keep around a few rubber bands for stubborn lids in your arsenal of kitchen gadgets. They’re a great jar opener even for those that are seemingly impossible to open. In fact, to open any stuck lids on jars all you have to do is find a rubber band, stretch it around the lid of the jar you want to open, and presto!
