NOTE: The simmer zone is
ava_ablle to keep hot cooked
foods warm. Foods shoulld not
be kept at these low
temperatures for more _han
two hours.
Water-bath or pressure canners and
large diameter pots extending more
than 1" beyond the edge of the
cooktop zones may be used when
canning. However, do not use large
diameter canners, pots or pans for
frying or boiling foods other than
water. Most syrup or sauce mixtures
and all types of frying cook at
temperatures much higher than
boiling water. Such temperatures
could eventually harm the cooktop
surfaces surrounding the cooking
zones.
