SECTION FOUR: USING THE COOKTOP

SPECIALTY COOKWARE

CANNING TIPS:

• A flat base pan is preferred to one with a concave, convex or rippled base.

• When using two canners at the same time, use staggered burners. Do not block air to the burners. A flame needs the right amount of air for complete combustion.

FLAT-BOTTOM WOK PAN

• Use a cover on a canner when bringing the contents to a boil.

• Once the contents have reached a boil on HI, use the lowest flame possible to maintain the boil or pressure.

• Canning produces a large amount of steam. Take precautions to prevent burns.

ROUND BOTTOM WOK

IN SUPPORT RING

•Woks – Either flat based or round bottom woks with the accessory ring can be used on models without a built-in wok burner. Round bottom woks must be used with a support ring. Place the “F” on the accessory ring facing to the front.

•Canners and StockPots – Select one with a base diameter that extends no more than 2 inches (51mm) beyond the grate.
