Jen you are using dangerous means to open your jars....you could end up with blood all over the place.
the handle of a spoon slid under the lid to release the vacuum...but my 'go to' trick is...I have the cuff of an old marigold rubber glove(other brands are available) and i put this over the lid of the jar and twist...it gives better grip and so far...it has worked for me...with no risk of injury.
