Canning Tips:
•
A flat base pan is preferred to one with a concave,
convex or rippled base.
•
When using two canners at the same time, use
staggered burners. Do not block air to the burners. A
flame needs the right amount of air for complete
combustion.
•
Use a cover on a canner when bringing the contents to
a boil.
•
Once the contents have reached a boil on HI, use the
lowest flame possible to maintain the boil or pressure.
•
Canning produces a large amount of steam. Take
precautions to prevent burns.
Suggestions For Using the
Recommendations
Use the chart on page 19 through page 20 as a guide. The
settings you use will vary depending on the pans selected
and the starting temperature of the food.
On the chart, the “Finish Setting” has been separated for
the Standard and ExtraLow Star
®
burners. There may or
may not be a change between the two burner settings.
The ExtraLow
®
setting can be either a cooking or a holding
setting.
Raise or lower the flame setting gradually. Allow time for
the pan and the food to adjust to the new setting.
