Points
in canning
L Be sure the cannerfits overthe centerof the
surfaceunit. If'your rangeor its locationdoes not
allowthe cannerto be centeredon the surfaceunit,
use smaller-diameter p ots for good canningresults.
2. For best results,use cannerswith flat bottoms.
Cannerswith flangedor rippledbottoms(often found
in enamelware)don'tmakegood contactwith the
surfaceunit and take a longtime to boil water.
Flat-bottom cannersaremxmmended.
3. When canning,use recipesand proceduresfrom
reputablesources.Reliablerecipesandproceduresare
availablefrom the manufacturerof yourcanner;
manufacturersof glassjars for canning,such as Ball
and Kerr; and the United StatesDepartmentof

4. Rememberthat canningis a processthat generates
largeamountsof steam.To avoidburnsfrom steamor
heat, be carefulwhen canning.
NOTE: If your househas low voltage,canningmay
take longerthan expected,even thoughdirections
have been carefiily followed.The processtime will
be shortenedby:
.
(1) using a pressurecanner,and
(2) startingwith HOT tap waterfor fastestheatingof
