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.

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

Q. why is the porcelain finish on my ‘cookwarecoming off?

A. If youset your surfaceunit higherthanrequiredforthe cookwarematerial, and leaveit, the finishmay smoke,crack, pop, or bum dependingon the pot or pan. Also, a toohighheat forlong periods, and smallamountsofdry food, may damagethefinish.

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:
