HOME CANNING TIPS

Canning should be done on surface units only.

Pots that extend beyond 1 inch of the surface unit are

not recommended for most surface cooking. However,

when canning with water-bath or pressure canner, large-diameter pots may be used. This is because boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to the cooktop surfaces surrounding the

surface unit.

Observe Following Points in Canning

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 cooking unit, use smaller-diameter pots for good canning results.

2. Flat-bottomed canners must be. used. Do not use canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often found in enamelware) because they don’t make enough contact with the surface unit and take a long time to boil water.

RIGHT WRONG

Flat-bottomed canners are recommended.

HOWEVER, DO NOT USE CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER COOKWARE FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER THAN WATER.

Most syrup or sauce mixtures—and all types of frying—cook at temperatures much higher than boiling water. Such temperatures could eventually harm the cooktop surfaces surrounding the surface units.

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 burns from steam 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

(2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest

a pressure canner, and

heating of large quantities of water.

Oven Shelves

The shelves are designed with stop-locks so when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming completely out of the oven and will not tilt when you are removing food from them

or placing food on them.

When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf

to the “stop” position. Place the cookware on the

out

shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven. This will

eliminate reaching into the hot oven.

Shelf Positions

Roasting A or B

Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles and roasts, preheating is not necessary. For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10 minutes. After the oven is preheated, place the food in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent heat from escaping.

Pans

Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.

● Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting

in a browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.

●

Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat,

resulting in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and cookies require this type of pan.

● Glass baking dishes absorb heat. When baking in

glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to be reduced by 25°F.

Pan Placement

For even cooking and proper browning, there must be enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered as

much as possible rather than being placed to the front or to the back of the oven. one is not directly above the other.

Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. Allow 1- to 1 as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so

Cakes

When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause uneven baking results and poorly shaped products. A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drier

Do not lock the oven door with the latch during

broiling. The latch is used for self-cleaning only. Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or

poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep spattering

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats.

Therefore, the oven controls are set for Baking or

Timed Baking. (You may hear a slight clicking sound, indicating the oven is working properly.) Timed Baking will turn the oven on and off automatically.

Place the shelf in A or B position. No preheating is necessary.

Check the weight of the

meat. Place it, fat side up. (or for poultry, up) on a trivet in a shallow pan. The melting fat will

Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing, after being removed from the oven. The standing time recommended for roasts is 10 to This allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to carve. The internal temperature will rise about

5°

to 10”F.; to compensate for the temperature increase, if desired, remove the roast from the oven sooner (at 5° to Roasting Guide).

Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot oven and therefore should be removed when the desired internal temperature has been reached.

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan.

This makes clean-up easier when using the pan for

Questions and Answers

Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a

meat thermometer?

A. Checking the

f-inished

internal temperature

the completion of cooking time is recommended. Temperatures are shown in the Roasting Guide.

For roasts over 8 Ibs., check with thermometer at

half’-hour

intervals after half the cooking time

has passed.

Q. Why is my roast crumbling when I try to

carve it?

Roasts are easier to slice if’ allowed to cool 10 to

20 minutes after removing them from the oven. Be sure to cut across the grain of the meat.

Frozen Roasts

Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started without thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes per

tips that would help me cook it more evenly?

A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in thickness as possible,

or buy rolled roasts.

Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil “tent” when

roasting a turkey?

A. Sealing the foil will steam the meat. Leaving it

unsealed allows the air to circulate and brown the meat.

Make sure poultry is thawed before roasting. Unthawed poultry often does not cook evenly. Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfully without thawing. Follow the directions given on the package label.

BROILING

Do not lock the oven door with the latch during

broiling. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.

Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from the upper broil element in the oven. You can broil in the upper or the lower oven. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these directions to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.

If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut vertical slashes If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer about 1/8 inch thick.

2. Place the meat on the broiler rack in the broiler pan. Always use the rack so the fat drips into the broiler pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough to catch fire.

3. Position a shelf on the recommended shelf position as suggested in the Broiling Guide. Most broiling is done on shelf position C,

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler rack. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the rack and cut slits in it just like the rack.

Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat

juices from draining to the broiler pan. The juices

could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.

a rack in the pan?

Q. Do I need to grease my broiler rack to prevent

Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling? A. No.

Salt draws out the juices and allows them to evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn the meat with tongs; piercing the meat with a fork also allows the juices to escape. When broiling poultry or fish, brush each side often with butter.
