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:

9 For beet resutta, use a canner which can be centered over the surface burner.

Do not place canner on two surface burners at the same time. Too much heat will build up and will damage the cooktop.

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