Jam

Jam

v. To force all, a greater quantity than usual, or sometimes an excessive amount of any ITEM into its HOLE. —adv. Completely full: “It's jammed.” See also BACK-SET OFFSET ROW, GO, HIDE, LAY-IN, MAKE IT GO.

NOTE: Some things, like glass jars, are just not meant to be Jammed—unless you can use the BACK-SET OFFSET ROW trick. However, it's often better to just keep it on the RUNNER or BACK-STOCK the excess and move on.

TIP: Raise Your Roof. You can often JAM a few extra pieces of narrow things like gelatin or spaghetti BOXES at the very top of the HOLE, in between the reinforcing rafters on the underside of the SHELF above.
