I like the foam or rubber grippy sheets for this purpose. not 100% failsafe given my arthritic hands & wrists, but they save me a good deal of time & pain

Tapping the rim of the lid with medium force on the countertop works really well!

It’s like a grippy material but it’s way better than an oven mitt or something, my problem is with my grip strength and finger/wrist joints and the first time I used it I was amazed by how easy it was to open a jar. I got it from occupational therapy, not sure how easy it is to get as a consumer
