Something to pry or twist off (3)

I believe the answer is:

lid

(Other definitions for lid that I've seen before include "Pie crust; cover" , "Cap or top for container" , "Top for bottle or eye protector" , "Removable cover of a container" , "Top for pot or jar" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
