5.Clean using a nylon scrub pad with soapy water and rinse with hot water.

6.Dry griddle, drip tray and area below griddle with paper towels to remove excess grease and oil.

7.If desired, a final cleaning with diluted white vinegar will remove stubborn residues on the griddle. Use a nylon scrub pad dipped into a mixture of 1 tbs (15 mL) of white vinegar and a ½ cup (118 mL) of hot water. Gently scrub stubborn spots, rinse with hot water and dry.

Cookware

IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner.

Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness.

Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or grates. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or grates.

Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the properties of aluminum.

Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the broiler.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.

Home Canning

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

Center the canner on the grate.

Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.

For more information, contact your local agricultural department. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.
