When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches.
This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
•
Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking
area or element. On electric cooktops,
canners should not
extend more than 1/2"(1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking
area or element.
•
Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas, elements or
surface burners at the same time.
•
On ceramic glass models, use only use flat-bottomed
canners.
•
For more information, contact your local agricultural
department. Companies that manufacture
home canning
products can also offer assistance.
IMPORTANT:
Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a
well-fitting
lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper
may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used
as a base they can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or
grates.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has
the same characteristics
as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the
properties of aluminum.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the
broiler.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.
