Canning and Oversize
Cookware

All canners and large pots must have flat bottoms and
must be made from heavy-gauge materials. 

This is critical

on smoothtop surfaces. The base 

must not

 be more than

1 inch larger than the element.

When canners and pots do not meet these standards, cooking
times may be longer, and cooktops may be damaged.

Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use on
smoothtop surfaces.

When canning, use the High heat setting only until the
water comes to a boil

 or pressure is reached in the canner.

Reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil or
pressure. If the heat is not turned down, the cooktop may be
damaged.
