Home canning informaation
To protect your range:
l Use
l Use the largest surface unit for best results. Also, use a canner/pan which can be centered over the surface unit and which does not extend more than one inch outside surface unit area. Largle diameter canners/pans, if not property centered, trap heat and can cause damage to the cooktop.
l Do not place canner on two surface units at the same time. Too much heat will build up and will damage the cooktcp.
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 Keep reflector bowls clean for best heat reflection.
l To prolong the life of the elements:
-Prepare small batches at a time.
-Do not use elements for canning all day.
