Surface Cooking

Specialty Pans & Trivets

DO NOT use a wok if it is

equipped with a metal ring.

Because this ring traps heat, the

cooktop surface could be

damaged.

Canning Tips & Information

Canning can generate

large amounts of steam. Use ex-

treme caution to prevent burns.

Always raise the lid to vent steam

away from

Woks with flat bottoms suitable for use on your

cooktop are available in most cookshop or hard-

ware stores.

DO NOT use two elements (if the cooktop is not

equipped with bridge element) to heat one large

pan such as aroaster or griddle, or allow cooking

utensils to boil dry. The bottom surface of the pan in

either of these situations could cause discoloring or

cracking of the glass range surface.

Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets. Cookware

bottoms must be in direct contact with the surface

elements.

* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and

pressure cookers may be used but must conform

to the above recommended cookware

requirements.

For glass smoothtop

models, only flat

bottomed woks (without

support rings) may be

used.

1. Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with the

manufacturer of glass jars for the latest canning information.

2. Use flat-bottomed canners only. Heat isspread more evenly when the

bottom surface is flat.

3. Center canner on the burner grate.

4. Start with hot water and a high heat setting to reduce the time it takes to

bring the water to aboil; then reduce the heat setting as low as possible to

maintain aconstant boil.

5. It is bestto can small amounts and light loads.

Prevent damage to cooktop:

1. Do not use water bath orpressure canners that extend more than one

inch beyond the edge of the burner grate.

2. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended

amount oftime.

3. Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the units and

surrounding surfaces to cool down. Tryto avoid canning on the same

burner unit allday.

Safe canning requires that harmful micro-organisms are

destroyed and the jars are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath

canner, agentle but steady boil must be maintained continuously for the

required time.
