HOME CANNING TIPS

HOME CANNING TIPS

Canning should be done on surface units only.

In surface cooking, the use of pots extending more than one inch beyond the edge of the surface unit’s drip pan is not recommended. However, when canning with a water-bath or pressure canner, large-diameter pots may be used. This is because boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to the cooktop surfaces surrounding the surface units.

HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE-DIAMETER CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE-DIAMETER POTS FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER THAN WATER. Most syrup or sauce mixtures—and all types of frying—cook at temperatures much higher than boiling water. Such temperatures could eventually harm the cooktop surfaces surrounding the surface units.

Surface

Observe 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.Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not use canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often found in enamelware) because they don’t make enough contact with the surface unit and take too long to boil water.

RIGHT WRONG

Flat-bottomed canners are recommended.

3.When canning, use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures are available from the manufacturer of your canner, manufacturers of glass jars for canning, such as Ball and Kerr, and the United States Department of Agriculture Extension Service.

4.Remember that canning is a process that generates large amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam or heat, be careful when canning.

NOTE: If your house has low voltage, canning may take longer than expected, even though directions have been carefully followed.

The process time will be shortened by:

(1)using a pressure canner, and

(2)starting with HOT tap water for fastest heating of large quantities of water.
