cantingTips
Canningshouldbedoneon
cooktop-on~y.
In surfacecookingoffoodsother thancanning,theuseoflarge­diameterutensils(extendingmore thanl-inchbeyondedgeoftrimring) isnotrecommended.However, whencanningwithwater-bathor pressurecanner,large-diameter utensilsmaybeused.Thisis
becauseboilingwatertemperatures
(evenunderpressure)arenot harmfultocooktopsurfaces surroundingheatingunit.
HOWEVER,DONOTUSE LARGEDIAMETERCANNERS
OROTHERLARGEDIAMETER UTENSILS FORFRYINGOR BOILING FOODSOTHER THANWATER.Mostsyrupor saucemixtures—andalltypesof
ing—cookattemperaturesmuch
herthanboilingwater.Such temperaturescouldeventually harmcooktopsurfacessurrounding Ileatingunits.
observe Followi~ Poin@
incanni~
1. BringwatertoboilonHIGH heat,thenafterboilinghasbegun, adjustheatto lowestsettingto maintainboil(savesenergyand
best usessurfaceunit.)
2. Besurecannerfitsovercenter ofsurfaceunit.If yourrangedoes notallowcannertobecenteredon surfaceunit,usesmaller-diameter containersforgoodcanningresults.
3. Flat-bottomedcannersgivebest canningresults.Besurebottomof canneris flator slightindentation

4. Whencanning,userecipesfrom: reputablesources.Reliablerecipes areavailablefromthemanufacturer ofyourcanner;manufacturersof glassjarsforcanning,suchasBall andKerr;andtheUnitedStates DepartmentofAgriculture ExtensionService.
5. Remember,infollowingthe recipes,that canningisa process thatgenerateslarge amountsof steam.Becarefulwhilecanningto preventbumsfromsteamor heat.
N~E: If yourrangeisbeing operatedonlow power(voltage), canningmaytakelongerthan expected,eventhoughdirections havebeencarefullyfollowed.The processmaybeimprovedby: (1)usingapressurecanner,and (2)forfastestheatingoflarge waterquantities,beginwith HOTtapwater.
