Q. why is the porcelain finish on

A. If youset your surfaceunit

the finishmay smoke,crack, pop,

pan. Also, a toohighheat forlong
periods, and smallamountsofdry

Potsthat extendbeyond 1inch of
cookingelement’strim ring are not
recommended formost surface

cooking. However,when canning
with water-bath or pressure canner,

larger-diameterpotsmay be used.
This isbecause boiling water
temperatures (evenunder pressure)

are notharmful to cooktop surfaces
surrounding the surface unit.

observeFoIlowingPoints

inCanniu

1. Be sure the canner fitsoverthe
center of the surface unit. If your
range or i~ location doesnot allow
the canner to be centered on the
surfaceunit, use smaller-diameter

potsfor good canning results.

2. Flat-bottomed canners must
be used. Do not use canners with

flangedor rippled bottoms(ofien
foundin enamelware) because they
don’tmake enough contact with the
surface unit and take too long to

3. When canning, use recipesand
procedures from reputablesources.
Reliablerecipes and procedures are
availablefrom themanufacturer of
your canner; manufacturers of
glassjars for canning, such asBall
and Kerr; and the United Stites
Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.

4. Remember that canning is
a process that generateslarge
amounts of steam. Toavoid bums
from steam or heat, be careful
when canning.

N~E: If your range is being
operated on low power (voltage),
canning maytake longerthan
expected, even thoughdirections
havebeen carefully followed. The
process time will be shorte]~edby:

(1)using a pressure canne~’,and
(2) stalling with HOT tap WaterfOl-
