Setting Surface Controls

Home Canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home

canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United

States Department of Agriculture) Web site and be sure to read

all the information they have available as well as follow their

recommendations for home canning procedures.

• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges

that radiate from the bottom center when home canning.

Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is flat.

Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.

• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1

inch beyond the surface element markings or burner.

• It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on

electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops and to center

canners on the burner grates.

• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.

• Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the water to

a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest

possible setting to maintain that boil.

• Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check

with your local Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service

or a manufacturer of glass jars for the latest canning infor-

mation.

• It is best to can small amounts and light loads.

• Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat

for an extended amount of time.
