microorganisms are destroyed and
that thejars are sealed completely.
Whencanning foods in a water-bath
canner, a gentle but steady boil mustbe
maintained for the required time. When
canning foods in a pressure canner, the
pressure mustbe maintained for the
required time.
::Ji::After you have adjustedthe controls,
it is very important to make sure the
prescribed boil or pressure levels are
maintained for the required time.

Flat-bottomed carolers must be
used. Do llot rise callllers with
flanged or tippled bottoms (oiten
found in enamelware) because
they don't make enough contact
with the surihce milts and take
a l<mg time to boil water.
_: Since you mustmake sure to process
the canningjars for the prescribed
time, with no interruption in processing
time,do not can on any cooktop
surface unit if your canner isnot flat.
