The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure canners combined with high heat settings for long periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop.

To protect your range:

0 For best results, use a canner which can be centered over the surface burner.

0 Do not place your canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.

0 Start with hot water. This reduces the time the control is set on high. Reduce the heat setting to the lowest position needed to maintain a boil or required pressure levels in a pressure canner.

0 The pan should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a well-fitting lid.

0 Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness) cookware.

lThe pan material (metal or glass) affects how quickly and evenly the pan heats.

0 When using glass or ceramic cookware, check to make sure it is suitable for use on surface burners.

0 To avoid tipping, make sure pots and pans are centered on the grates.

The pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the surface cooking area through the pan material and how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.
