that the opener itself is firmly attached.
Don’t Force an Incorrect Fit
If the lid doesn’t sit properly in the gripping mechanism, stop and adjust it.
Keep the Gripping Area Clean
Food residue and grease can reduce the effectiveness of the gripping surfaces.
A quick wipe now and then can help.
Hold the Jar Securely
Especially with larger or heavier jars, use a firm grip and keep the jar stable while turning.
Don’t Use Excessive Force
If a jar is damaged, cracked, or otherwise compromised, don’t try to overpower the lid.
A little patience is better than broken glass and a kitchen full of pasta sauce!
