Home Canning

Canning can be performed on a glass smooth-top cooking
surface or traditional coil element cooktop. When canning for long
periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas or elements
between batches. This allows time for the most recently used
areas to cool.
Center the canner on the 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 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.
