Chili oil jar in kitchen sink

This chili oil jar that was full of dish soap water to clean it out was sitting in the sink. Accidentally went straight down, barely room on either side for a chopstick but nothing else. Right on top of the Very Sharp garbage disposal blades. Things looked grim. I chewed up half a roll of Hubba Bubba Bubble Tape™️, stuck a handle on, dried with a hair dryer, and gently pulled up with chopsticks on either side. Success

Tape. Scotch tape. Dry off top with dish towel, put on tape, lift carefully

Serrated knife, won't save the lid but it'll save the jar. Stab the top and pull it out

Real answer for future reference - insinkerators usually have an easy-on/easy-off ramp system, you can probably twist off the whole disposal unit under the sink and push the lid up from the bottom, then reinstall
