To Start Things Cooking (to.to)
For best cooking results and energy efficient operation,
you should use pans that are flat on the bottom. Match
the size of the pan to the size of the surface unit. The pan
should not extend over the edge of the drip bowl more
than1",
5_ote= A slight odor Is normal when a new cooktop Is
used for the first time. it is causad by the heating of new
parts and Insulating materials and will disappear in a
short time.
OBSERVE FOLLOWIHG POINTS iN
CANN|NG
1. Brlng water to boll on HIGH heat, then after bolllng
has begun, adjust heat to lowest setting to maintain
boll (saves energy and best uses surface unit).
2. Be sure canner fits over center ofsurface unit. If your
range does not allow canner to be centered on
surface unit, use smaller-diameter pots for good
canning results.
3. Flat-bottomedcannersgivebestcannlng results. Be
sure bottom of canner isflat or sllght Indentation fits
snugly over surface unit. Canners with flanged or
tippled bottoms (often found In enamelware) are not
recommended.
WOK COOKING
We recommend that you use only a fiat.bottom wok,
They are available at your local retail store.
HOME CAN ING TIPS
In surface cooking of foods other than canning, the use
of large-diameter pots (extending more than 1" beyond
_:lge of drip pan) is not recommended. However, when
canning with water-bath or pressure canner, large-di-
ameter pots may be used. This Is because boiling water
temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to
cooktop surfaces surrounding heating unit.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE DDAMETER CAN-
HERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER POTS FOR
FRYSNG OR BORLgHG FOODS OTHER THAN WATER,
,Most syrup or sauce mixtures-- and all types of frying
--cook at temperatures much higherthan bolllng water.
Such temperatures could eventually harm cooktop sur-
faces surrounding heating units.
4. When canning, use recipes from reputable sources.
Reliable recipes are available from the manufacturer
of your canner; manufacturers of glass jars for can-
ning, such as Ball and Kerr; and the United States
Department of Agriculture Extension Service.
5. Remember, in following the recipes, that canning ts a
process that generates large amounts of steam. Be
carefulwhllecannlng topreventbumsfrom steamorheat.
NOTE" If your range is being operated on low power
(voltage), canning may take longer than expected, even
though directions have been carefully followed. The
process may be Improved by:
(1) using a pressure canner, and
(2) beglnnlng with hot tap water when heating
larger quantities of water.
