Another tip if the hot water doesn't work, is on a sunny day put the lid on the floor in your car. When your car heats up it'll soften the lid. I had some tupperware lids that wouldn't fit no matter what I did (including the hot water), I decided to take them to the Tupperware stand in the mall to see what they could do for it and the containers sat in the car for about 4 or 5 hours in the heat. When I brought them into the stand the person had NO problem getting them on....I felt like a fool!

That works well.. I also get alot of Tupperware lids at garage sales.. give then a quick soak in hot bleach water.. wash in dish water and wow.. I pay like .05 or .10 for them.. if they want more offer less.. they take it just to get rid of them. Dont put them in the dish washer.. it warps them.

NOW you tell me! I have thrown out so many lids because they didn't work! Thanks for future use though.
