NOTE: If your house has low voltage,
canning may take longer than expected,
even though directions have been
carefully foflowed. The process time will
be shortened by:
(1) using a pressure canner, and
(2) starting with HOTtap water for fastest
heating of large quantities of wate,:
CAU_O_
Safe canning requires that harmful
microorganisms are destroyed and that
the jars are sealed completely. When
canning foods in a water-bath canner,
a gentle but steady boil must be
maintained for the required time. When
canning foods in a pressure canner, the
pressure must be maintained for the
required time.
After you have adjusted the controls,
it is very important to make sure the
prescribed boil or pressure levels are
maintained for the required time.
Since you must make sure to process
the canning jars for the prescribed
time, with no interruption in processing
time, do not can on any cooktop
surface unit ff your canner is not flat.
