Home canning information

Cooking on the ceramic glass cooktop is similar to cooking on coil elements. There are, however, a few differences:

Center over surface unit

Pan

Surface unit

The surface cooking area will glow red when the element is turned on. You will see the element cycling on and off – even on the HI setting – to help the area stay at the tem- perature setting you chose.

Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

Do not cook popcorn that comes in prepackaged aluminum containers on the cooktop. The container could leave aluminum marks on the cooktop that cannot be removed completely.

Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them. Food and water particles left on the bottoms can leave deposits on the cooktop when it is heated.

Lift pots and pans onto and off of the cooktop. Sliding pots and pans on the cook- top could leave marks that are difficult to re- move or could leave permanent marks.

Dropping a heavy or hard object on the cooktop could crack it. Be careful when using heavy skillets and large pots. Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop.

Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.

Do not allow anything that could melt, such as plastic, to come in contact with the cook- top while it is hot.

Sugary spills and soils can cause pitting. See “Cleaning the ceramic glass cooktop” in the “Caring for Your Range” section for more information.

Use the entire surface (“DUAL” setting) of the left front surface cooking area for best results. (Models GJC3034G, YGJC3034G, and GJC3634G)

Use flat-bottomed canners on all types of cooktops, especially ceramic glass. Canners with rippled or ridged bottoms do not allow good contact with the surface.

Center the canner over the largest surface cooking area. Do not extend more than one inch outside the surface cooking area. Large diameter canners/pans, if not centered correctly, trap heat and can cause damage to the cooktop.

Do not place your canner on two surface cooking areas at the same time.

The type of material the canner is made of determines the length of heating time. Refer to the “Characteristics of cookware materials” chart later in this section for more information.

When canning for long periods of time, allow elements and the surrounding surfaces to cool down.

Alternate use of the surface cooking areas between batches or prepare small batches at a time.

Start with hot water, cover with a lid, and bring to a boil; then reduce heat to maintain a boil or required pressure levels in a pressure canner.
