When canning for long periods, alternate the use of elements
between batches. This allows time for the most recently used
areas to cool.
• Center the canner on the element. Canners should not extend
more than 1/2"(1,3 cm) beyond the element,
• Do not place canner on 2 elements at the same time.
• For more information, contact your local agricultural
department. Companies that manufacture home canning
products can also offer assistance,
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a
well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper
may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used
as a base they can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or
grates.
Cookware material is afactor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has
the same characteristics as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the
properties of aluminum.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.
