Home Canning
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches.
This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
•
Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking
area or element. Canners should not extend more than 1 in.
(2.5 cm) outside the cooking area.
•
Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas, elements
or surface burners at the same time.
•
On ceramic glass models, only use flat-bottomed canners.
•
On coil element models, the installation of a Canning Unit Kit
is recommended.
If not installed, the life of the coil element
will be shortened. See back cover for ordering instructions.
For more information, contact your local U.S. Government
Agricultural
Department Extension Office. Companies who
manufacture
home canning products can also offer
assistance.
Cookware
IMPORTANT= Never leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a well-
fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred, which affects cooking results. A non-stick finish has
the same characteristics
as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a non-stick finish will take on the
properties of aluminum.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.
