Cookware tips

Home canning information

The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure canners combined with high heat settings for long periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop.

To protect your range:

•Center the canner over the surface burner. Do not extend more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) outside the burner area.

•Do not place your canner on two surface burners at the same time.

•Start with hot water, cover with a lid and bring to a boil; then reduce heat to main- tain a boil or required pressure levels in a pressure canner.

•Refer to your canner manual for specific instructions.

•For up-to-date information on canning, contact your local U.S. Government Agricultural Department Extension Office or companies who manufacture home canning products. In Canada, contact Agriculture Canada.

Using the right cookware makes a big difference

•The pan should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a well-fitting lid.

•Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness) cookware.

•The pan material (metal or glass) affects how quickly and evenly the pan heats.

•When using glass or ceramic cookware, check to make sure it is suitable for use on surface burners.

Characteristics of cookware materials

The pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the surface cooking area through the pan material and how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.
