canning shouldbedone on surface units Onlye HOWEVER, Do NOTUSEMRGE DWETER

Pots that extend beyond 1inch of surface unit’s

drip pan are not recommended for most surface cooking. However, when canning with water-bath or pressure canner, larger-diameter pots may be used.

This is because boiling water temperatures (even

. .

under pressure) are no~harmful tocooktop surfaces

surrounding the surface units.

CNNERS OR OTHER MRGE DIAMETER POTSFOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER TW }VATER.Nfostsyrup or sauce mixtures—

and all typesof frying-cook at temperatures much higher than boiiing water. Such temperatures could eventuallyharm cooktop surfaces surrounding

..-

surface units.

1. Be sure the canner fits over the center of the surface unit.If your range or its location does not allow the canner to be centered on the surface unit, use smaller diameter pots for good canning resuits.

J1.For best results use canners with flat bottoms.

Canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often

found in enan~elware)don’t make good contact with tilesurface unit and take a long time to boil water.

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. Rernernberthat canning is a process that generates large amounts of steam. To avoid burns from stea~n or heat, be careful when canning.
