Home canning information

l Use the largest surface unit for best
results.
l Start with hot water. This reduces the
time the control is set on high. Reduce
heat setting to lowest position needed to
keep water boiling.
l Refer to your canner manual for specific
instructions.
Positioning racks and pans

the rack so the top of the food will be
centered in the oven.
