circle are not recommended for most surface cooking.
However, when canning with water-bath or pressure
canner, larger-diameter pots may be used. This is
because boiling water temperatures (even under
pressure) are not harmful to the cooktop surfaces
surrounding the surface elements.

the canner to be centered on the surface element, use
smaller-diameter pots for good canning results.

canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often found
in enamelware) because they don’t make enough
contact with the surface elements and take a long time
to boil water.
3. When canning, use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures
are available from the manufacturer of your canner;

4. Remember that canning is a process that generates
large amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam or
heat, be careful when canning.
NOTE:
If your house has low voltage, canning may take
longer than expected, even though directions have been
carefully followed. The process time will be shortened by:
(1) using a pressure canner, and
(2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest heating of
large quantities of water.

are destroyed and that the jars are sealed completely.
When canning foods in a water-bath canner, a gentle
but steady boil must be maintained for the required
time. When canning foods in a pressure canner, the
pressure must be maintained for the required time.

jars for the prescribed time, with no interruption in
processing time, do not can on any cooktop surface
element if your canner is not flat.
Note:
Flat-bottomed canners are
required for glass cooktops.
