Care Instructions

Use a soft cloth and warm, soapy water to wash your Victorio Multi-Use
Canner by hand before the initial use. This will help to remove any
particles or residue from the factory. Then follow these simple care
instructions to keep your canner clean:
After each use, wash the pot, lid and jar rack in warm, soapy water.
Rinse and dry well. Be sure to use a soft cloth to keep from
scratching the aluminum surface.
As the canner is used, you may notice hard water build up as well as
discoloration or darkening of the stock pot. This is normal for
aluminum.
To remove hard-water deposits from the stock pot, add 1/4 cup of
vinegar and 1 gallon of water to the pot and boil for 2 to 3 minutes.
NEVER ALLOW YOUR CANNER TO BOIL DRY. Negligence
might result in damage to the canner or your stove. Check the water
level after every batch.
Canning Jar and Lid Selection
Regular and wide-mouth Mason-type, threaded, home-canning jars with
self-sealing lids (lid and screw-band combination) are the best choice. The
regular jar mouth opening is approximately 2-3/8 inches. Wide-mouth
jars have openings of approximately 3 inches. These types of canning jars
come in several different sizes depending upon your needs and recipe
requirements. For further information on jar and lid selections and for jar
cleaning and sterilization, please refer to the USDA's Complete Guide to
Home Canning.
