How to open a Dona Maria can

Ingredients

• 1 jar Mole Sauce (store‑bought, about 12 oz (340 g))

Instructions

1. Gather Tools

   Place the mole sauce jar on a stable surface and have a sharp, thin kitchen knife ready. If you have a bottle opener, keep it nearby as a backup.

   Time: PT1M

2. Locate the Seal Lines

   Examine the top of the jar; you will see three faint lines forming a triangle on the metal seal.

   Time: PT1M

3. Flip the Jar Upside Down

   Turn the jar so the seal faces downwards. This positions the lines for easier cutting.

   Time: PT30S

4. Make the First Slit

   Using the tip of the thin knife, carefully cut a small slit along the first line of the triangle. Apply gentle pressure; you only need to break the metal, not cut deep into the glass.

   Time: PT1M

5. Cut the Remaining Two Lines

   Repeat the same cutting motion on the other two lines of the triangle, creating three small slits evenly spaced around the seal.

   Time: PT1M

6. Twist Off the Seal

   Flip the jar back to its normal orientation. Grip the metal cap and gently twist; the three slits will allow the seal to pop off easily.

   Time: PT30S

7. Clean Up

   Wipe the jar rim with a clean cloth, discard the metal seal, and wash the knife and any other tools used.

   Time: PT5M
