Insurfacecookingoffoodsother thancanning,theuseoflarge-

diameterpots(extendingmorethan

l-inchbeyondedgeoftrimring)is notrecommended.However,when canningwithwater-bathor pressure canner,large-diameterpotsmaybe used.Thisisbecauseboilingwater temperatures(evenunder pressure)

arenotharmfultocooktopsurfaces surroundingheatingunit.

HOWEVER,DO NOTUSE

LARGEDIAMETERCANNERS OR~HER LARGEDIAMETER COOKWAREFORFRYINGOR BOILINGFOODS~HER THANWATER.Mostsyrupor saucemixtures—andalltypesof

observeFollowingPoints inCanning:

1. BringwatertoboilonHIGH

heat,thenafterboilinghasbegun,

adjustheatto lowestsettingto maintainboil(savesenergyand bestusessurfaceunit.)

2. Besurecanner fitsovercenter ofsurfaceunit.If yourcooktop

does notallowcannertobe centeredon surfaceunit,use smaller-diametercontainersfor goodcanningresults.

4. Whencanning,userecipesfrom reputablesources.Reliablerecipes areavailablefromthemanufacturer ofyourcanner;manufacturersof glassjars forcanning,suchas Ball andKerr;andtheUnitedStates DepartmentofAgriculture ExtensionService.

5. Remember,in followingthe recipes,thatcanningis a process thatgenerateslargeamountsof steam.Becarefulwhilecanningto preventburnsfromsteamorheat.

IWXE:If yourcooktopisbeing operatedonlowpower(voltage), canningmaytakelongerthan

expected,eventhoughdirections havebeencarefullyfollowed. Theprocessmaybeimprovedby:

(1)usinga pressurecanner,and

(2)for fastestheatingoflarge waterquantities,beginwith HOTtapwater.
