The Prepworks by Progressive Magnetic Lid Lifter allows the placement of lids on jars while minimizing hand contact, providing a more sterile environment. Grab the lid directly from simmering water and easily disengage the magnet by tilting lifter away from lid. The use never needs to touch lid, again providing a more sterile environment. The jar lifter measures 9-3/4-inch long, is dishwasher safe and will not stain when using.
