More than 500,000 people on TikTok shared a quick and easy way to open a glass jar with a teaspoon.

The talented baker and cake decorator Tegan'Tigga' Maccormack from Melbourne revealed this simple technique in a short video demonstrating how to easily open a sealed jar.

Although many people often place the jar under hot water or gently tap the countertop, Taigen slides the end of the spoon under the lid until she hears a bang.

She barely used any strength and twisted it a little aside before hearing the popping sound.

"This is just a quick trick for those who are trying to open the jar. Sometimes I see people using it to tap the edge of the bench to try to open the lid-you don't need that, I just need a teaspoon," Tai Root said in the clip.

At the beginning of the video, Tegan can be seen struggling to open a can of Passata tomato sauce.

She used a spoon to slide the handle to the lips of the jar, almost effortlessly, and twisted slightly before hearing the popping sound.

"There was a bang, which meant that all the pressure in the jar was gone, so the lid was unscrewed-very simple!" she said. 

Tegan (pictured) has always been interested in baking and co-founded her company Cake For Days with her best friend Katie in 2017

Thousands of people praised this simple hacking behavior online, and now the viral video has been viewed more than 116,000 times.

'thanks! I always bump them on the bench," one TikTok user wrote.

"I just gave the jar to my dad," another said, and a third wrote, "I don't know this!"

But a few people are shocked that smart hackers are not "common sense."

"Of course everyone already knows this??" one woman wrote.

Tegan has been baking cakes for more than 10 years and co-founded her company Cake For Days with her best friend Katie in 2017. 

She is known for sharing her impressive creations with huge TikTok followers.
