@Cook complete oven meals
instead ofjust one food item.
Potatoes, other vegetables, and

some desserts will cook together
with.a main-dish casserole, meat

foods that cook at the same
temperature and in approximately
the same amount of time.

surface cooking, the use of pots
extending more than one inch
beyond the edge of the surface
unit’s drip pan is not recommended.
However, when canning with a
\vater-bathor pressure canner,

large-diameter pots may be used.
This is because boiling water

[temperatures(even under pressure)
are not harmful to cooktop surfaces

Q. Can I use special cooking
equipment, like an orientalwok,
on any smface unit?

A. Cookware withoutflat surfaces

is not recommended. The life of
the surface units can be shortened
and the range top can be damaged
from the high heat needed for this
type of cooking.

Q. Why

amI notgettingtheheat
1needfrommysurfaceunits
even

though I have the bobs on

the right setting?

A. After turning surfaceunits off

and making sure they are cool,
check to make sure that your plug­in units are securely fastened into
the surface connection.

Q.‘Wy dm mycookwaretit

whenI placeitonthesurfaceunit?

A. Because the surfaceunit or the

cookwareis notflat. Make sure
that the “feet” on your surface
units are sittingtightly in the range
top indentationandthe drip pan is
flat on the range surface.

Q. ‘Whyis the

A. If you set your surface unit

higher than required for the

cookware material,and let the
cookware sit too long,the
cookware’sfinishmay smoke,
crack, pop or burn, depending on
the pot or pan. Also, cooking small
amountsof dry food may damage

Points

incanning

1, Be sure the canner fits over the
center of the surface unit.

If your

rangeor itslocationdoesnotallow
thecannertobe centeredonthe
surfaceunit,use smaller-diameter

potsfor goodcanningresults.

2. Forbestresultsusecannerswith

flat bottoms. Canners with flanged
or rippled bottoms (often found in
enamelware) don’t make good
contact with the surface unit and
take a long time to boil water.

Flat-bottom canners are

mmmmmded.

3. When canning, use recipes and
procedures from reputable sources.
Reliablerecipes andprocedures are
available from the manufacturer of
your canner; manufacturers of

glassjars forcanning,suchasBall

andKerr;andtheUnitedStates
