5. In followingthe recipes,
remember that canning is a process
that generates large amounts of
steam. Be carefulwhile canning to
preventburns from steam or heat.
NOTE: If your range is being
operated on low power (voltage),
canning may take longer than
expected, eventhough directions
havebeen carefully followed. The
process may be improved by:
(1)using a pressure canner, and.
(2) for fastest heating of large
