Observe the Following Points in Canning

1. Be sure the canner fits over the center of the
surface unit. If your range or its location does not
allow the canner to be centered on the surface unit,
use smaller diameter pots for good canning results.
2. For best results, use canners with flat bottoms.
Canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often
found in enamelware) don't make good contact
with the surface unit and take a long time to
boil water.
Flat-bottomed canners are recommended.
