	convex or rippled base.
•	When using two canners at the same time, use
	staggered burners. Do not block air to the burners.

•	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.

SUGGESTIONS FOR USING THE RECOM- MENDATIONS

Use the chart on Pages 15 and 16 as a guide. The settings you use will vary depending on the pans selected and the starting temperature of the food.

On the chart, the “Finish Setting” has been separated for the standard and ExtraLow burners. There may or may not be a change between the two burner settings.

The ExtraLow setting can be either a cooking or a holding setting.

Raise or lower the flame setting gradually. Allow time for the pan and the food to adjust to the new setting.
