Do not use woks that have
support rings. Use of these
types of woks, with or
without the ring in place,
can be dangerous. Placing
the ring over the surface unit
will cause a build-up of heat that will damage the
porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use such woks
without the ring. You could be seriously burned
if the wok tipped over.
HOWEVER. DO NOT USE LARGE DIAMETER

3. When canning, use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures
are available from the manufacturer of your canner;
manufacturers of glass jars for canning, such as
Ball and Kerr: and the United States Department
of Agriculture Extension Service.
4. Remember that canning is a process that generates
large
amounts of steam. To avoid
or heat, be careful when canning.
NOTE: If your house has low voltage, canning
may take longer than expected, even though
directions have been carefully followed.
The process time will be shortened by:
(1)
using
a
pressure canner, and
(2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest
heating of large quantities of water.
