Pan
Canning Tips:
• Aflat base pan is preferred
to one with a concave,
convex
or rippled
base.
When
using two canners
at the same time, use
staggered
burners. Do not block air to the burners.
A flame needs the right amount of air for complete
combustion.
•
Use a cover
on a canner
when
bringing
the
contents
to a boil.
• Once the contents
have reached
a boil on HI, use
the lowest
flame possible
to maintain
the boil or
press u re.
• Canning
produces
a large amount
of steam. Take
precautions
to prevent
burns.
Round-Bottom
Wok
in Support
Ring
Woks-
Either flat based
or round bottom
woks
with the accessory
ring can be used on models
without a built-in wok burner. Round bottom woks
must be used with a support
ring. The porcelain-
coated
cast
iron
wok
support
ring
must
be
purchased
separately.
• Canners
and Stock Pots - Select one with a base
diameter
that extends
no more
than
2 inches
(51mm)
beyond
the grate.

Cooking Recomendations
Suggestions
for Using
the
Recommenda-
tions
Use the chart on Pages
17 and 18 as a guide. The
settings
you use will vary depending
on the pans
selected
and the starting
temperature
of the food.
On the chart, the "Finish Setting" has been separated
for the standard
and ExtraLow
burners.
There
may
or may not be a change
between
the two burner
settings.
The ExtraLow
setting
can be either a cooking
or a
holding setting.
Raise or lower the flame setting gradually. Allow time
for the pan and the food to adjust to the new setting.
