Q. MayIcanfoodsandpreserves onmysoliddiskelements?

A. Yes,butonlyusecontainers

(). Whyisthecooktophotto thetouch?

A. Moreheatistransferredtothe cooktopbythesoliddiskelements thanbyconventionalcoilsbecause theelementsare clampedsecurely tothecooktopsurface.This,of course,eliminatesspilloversfrom gettinginsidethecooktopchassis. Thesecretto keepingthecooktop comfortablycooleris toturnthe

not allowthecannertobecentered onthecookingelement,use smaller-diametercannersforgood canningresultsortryputting moduleonoppositesideofcooktop sothelargercookingelementisin front.

2. Flat-bottomedcannersmustbe used.Donotusecannerswith flangedorrippledbottoms(often foundinenamelware)becausethey

RIGHT WRONG

3. Whencanning,userecipesand proceduresfromreputablesources. Reliablerecipesandproceduresare availablefromthemanufacturerof your canner;manufacturersof glassjars forcanning,suchasBall andKerr; andtheUnitedStates DepartmentofAgriculture ExtensionService.

4. Rememberthatcanningisa processthatgenerateslarge amountsofsteam.Toavoidbums fromsteamor heat,becareful whencanning.
