Points
1.Be sure the canner fitsove~the
center of the surfaceunit. If your
rangeor itslocation does not allow
the canner to be centered on the
surface unit, use smaller-diameter
pots for good canning results.
2. For best results usecanners with
flat bottoms. Canners with flanged
or rippled bottoms (often found in
enamelware) don
contact with the surface unit and
take a long time to boil water.
Flat-bottomed winnersare

3. When canning, use recipes and
procedures from reputable sou~ces.
Reliablerecipes and procedures are
available from the manufacturer of
your canner; manufacturers of
glassjars 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
