Stainless Steel:
recommended
Aluminum:
heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the
cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Because of its low melting
point, thin weight aluminum should not
be used.
Copper Bottom:
recommended
Copper may leave residues which can
appear as scratches. The residues can
be removed, as long as the cooktop is
cleaned immediately. However, do not let
these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can
bond to glass cooktops. An overheated
copper bottom pot will leave a residue
that will permanently stain the cooktop
if not removed immediately.
Porcelain Enamel Covered Cast Iron:
recommended
As long as the cookware is covered
completely with porcelain enamel, this
cookware is recommended. Caution is
recommended for cast iron cookware
that is not completely covered with
smooth porcelain enamel, as it may
scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.
Glass-ceramic:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.
Stoneware:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.
Check pans for flat bottoms by using
a straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged
or warped bottoms are not
recommended.
Home Canning Tips
Be sure the canner is centered over the
surface unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the
bottom.
To prevent burns from steam or heat,
use caution when canning.
Use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. These are available
from manufacturers such as Ball
®
and
Kerr
®
and the Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
Flat-bottomed canners are recommended.
Use of water bath canners with rippled
bottoms may extend the time required to
bring the water to a boil.
