HomeCanning

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

■Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking area or element. Canners should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) outside the cooking area.

■Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas, elements or surface burners at the same time.

■On ceramic glass models, only use flat-bottomed canners.

■On coil element models, the installation of a Canning Unit Kit is recommended. If not installed, the life of the coil element will be shortened. See “Assistance or Service” for ordering instructions.

■For more information, contact your local U.S. Government Agricultural Department Extension Office. In Canada, contact Agriculture Canada. Companies who manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

Cookware

IMPORTANT: Never leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner.

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

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

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