Woks
• Either flat-based or round-bottom woks with the
accessory ring can be used on all models. Round
bottom woks must be used with a support ring. The
Wok pan and the porcelain-coated cast iron wok
support ring must be purchased separately.

Standard Size Pressure Canner
• 8 to 22 quarts (7.6 to 20.9 liters), with an 8'' to 11'' base
(203–279 mm) and a 6½'' to 12'' depth (165–305 mm).
Canning Tips
• A flat base pan is preferred to one with a concave,
convex or rippled base.
• When using two canners at the same time, use
staggered burners. Do not block air to the burners. A
flame needs the right amount of air for complete
combustion.
• Use a cover on a canner when bringing the contents to
a boil.
• Once the contents have reached a boil on HI, use the
lowest flame possible to maintain the boil or pressure.
• Canning produces a large amount of steam. Take
precautions to prevent burns.
Suggestions For Using the Surface Burner

Cooking Recommendations

• Use the chart beginning on page 18 as a guide. The
settings you use will vary depending on the pans
selected and the starting temperature of the food.
• On the chart, the "Finish Setting" has been separated
for the standard and ExtraLow burners. There may or
may not be a change between the two burner settings.
®
• The ExtraLow setting can be either a cooking or a
holding setting.
• Raise or lower the flame setting gradually. Allow time
for the pan and the food to adjust to the new setting.
