Home Canning

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.
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.
