Home Canning

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

■Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking area or element. Canners should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) outside the cooking area.

■Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas, elements or surface burners at the same time.

■On ceramic glass models, only use flat-bottomed canners.

■On coil element models, the installation of a Canning Unit Kit is recommended. If not installed, the life of the coil element will be shortened. See “Assistance or Service” for ordering instructions.

■For more information, contact your local U.S. Government Agricultural Department Extension Office. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

Cookware

IMPORTANT: Never leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner.

Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a well- fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness.

Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base it can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or grates.

Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results. A non-stick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminum cookware with a non-stick finish will take on the properties of aluminum.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.
