Preparation The term “zipper,” named for the sound it makes, doesn’t seem an appropriate moniker when the fastener itself gets stuck. The most common reason for a jammed zipper is that the interior lining of the garment is trapped between the slider (the mechanism that runs up and down) and the teeth.

You’ll just need a decent candy thermometer....
