Home Canning

Center the canner on the largest surface cooking area or
element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend
more than 1/2" (13 mm) beyond the surface cooking area or
element.
Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas or elements
at the same time.
On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners to
avoid damage to the cooktop and elements.
For more information, contact your local agricultural extension
office or refer to published home canning guides. Companies
that manufacture home canning products can also offer
assistance.
