Besides the intended use of opening recalcitrant jars, a rubber jar opener
mat can be used for several other helpful tasks:
When mixing by hand, place a rubber jar opener mat under a mixing bowl to
keep the bowl from moving.
Place one under a cutting board to stabilize it when chopping ingredients.
Use two mats, spaced evenly apart, under larger cutting boards, such as
when rolling out dough or pastry.
Roll the mat up to form a tube around garlic cloves. Roll gently back and
forth over the countertop to easily remove the skin.
Happy Baking!
