Home canning information
l
Use flat-bottomed canners/pans for best
results. Some canners have ridged bottoms
(porcelain enamel-ware) and are not recom-
mended. They do not make good contact with
the surface unit and cause severe overheating
which damages the cooktop.
l
Use the largest surface unit for best results.
l
Start with hot water. This reduces the time the
control is set on high. Reduce heat setting to
lowest position needed to keep water boiling.
Positioning racks and pans
For baking/roasting with one rack, place the
rack so the top of the food will be centered in the
oven.
Rack placement for specific foods:

Frozen pies, large
roasts, turkeys
Angel and bundt cakes,
most quick breads,
yeast breads, casse-
roles, meats
Cookies, biscuits,
