What does "fingertip tight" mean? "Fingertip tight" means tightening the screw band just enough to hold the lid in place while still allowing trapped air to escape during processing. To do this, place the band on the jar and tighten it using only your fingertips until you feel slight resistance—then stop. Avoid over-tightening, as the lid needs room to vent during the canning process for a proper seal. Learn more: go.iastate.edu/ELQJXP
