above the jar tops. Pour the water around the jars and not directly onto
them. For process times over 30 minutes, the water level should be 2
inches above the jars.
5. Turn the heat setting to its highest position. Set a timer (after the
water is boiling) for the total minutes required for processing the food.
6. Place the lid on the T-Fal canner pot and lock in place. Since you are not
canning with pressure, position the symbol
the marker
7. Keep the canner covered for the process time. The heat setting may
be lowered as long as a gentle but complete boil is maintained for the
entire process time.
8. Add more boiling water during the process, if needed, to keep the water
level above the jar tops. Pour the water around the jars and not directly
onto them.
9. If the water stops boiling at any time during the process, turn the heat
on its highest setting, bring the water back to a vigorous boil, and begin
the timing of the process over, from the beginning (using the total
original process time).
10. When the jars have been processed in boiling water for the recommended
time, turn off the heat and remove the canner lid. Wait 5 minutes before
removing jars to allow the canner contents to settle.
11. Using a jar lifter, remove the jars one at a time, being careful not to tilt
the jars. Carefully place them directly onto a towel or cake cooling rack,
leaving at least one inch of space between the jars during cooling. Avoid
placing the jars on a cold surface or in a cold draft.
12. Let the jars sit undisturbed while they cool, from 12 to 24 hours. Do not
tighten ring bands on the lids or push down on the center of the flat
metal lid until the jar is completely cooled.
13. Remove ring bands from sealed jars. Put any unsealed jars in the
refrigerator and use first.
