When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently
used areas to cool.
•
Center the canner on the grate above the burner.
•
Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.
•
For more information, contact your local agricultural
department. Companies that manufacture
home canning
products can also offer assistance.
IMPORTANT:
Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a
well-fitting
lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper
may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used
as a base they can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or
grates.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has
the same characteristics
as its base material.
For example, aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take
on the properties of aluminum.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.
