Preventdamage to cooktop and burner grates:
1. Do not use water bath or pressure canners that extend more than one inch beyond the
edge of the burner grate.
2. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended amount of
time.
3. Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the units and surrounding surfaces to
cool down. Tryto avoid canning on the same burner unit all day.
Safe canning requires that harmful micro-organisms are destroyed and the jars
are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle but steady boil must be
maintained continuously for the required time.
