Home canning information

lUse flat-bottomed canners/pans for best results. Some canners have ridged bottoms (porcelain enamel-ware) and are not recom- mended. They do not make good contact with the surface unit and cause severe overheating which damages the cooktop.

lFor best results, use the largest surface unit. Also, use a canner/pan which can be centered over the surface unit and which does not extend more than one inch outside surface unit area. Large diameter canners/pans, if not properly centered, trap heat and can cause damage to the cooktop.

lDo not place canner on two surface units at the same time. Excessive heat build-up will damage the cooktop.

lStart with hot water. This reduces the time the control is set on high. Reduce heat setting to lowest position needed to keep water boiling.

lTo prolong the life of the elements:

-Prepare small batches at a time.

-Do not use elements for canning all day.
