Home Canning - KitchenAid KFID500ESS User Instructions

Canning can be performed on the induction cooktop. See the
"Cookware" section to check if the canner will work on the
induction cooktop. When canning for long periods, alternate the
use of surface cooking areas or elements between batches. This
allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
Center the canner on the largest surface cooking area or

element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend
