Home canning information
The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure
canners combined with high heat settings for long
periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop.
To protect your cooktop:
• For best results, use a canner which can be
centered over the surface burner.
• Do not place your canner on 2 surface burners at
the same time.
• Start with hot water.
This reduces the time
the control is set on
high. Reduce the heat
setting to the lowest
position needed to
maintain a boil or
required pressure
levels in a pressure
canner.
• Refer to your canner manual for specific instructions.
For up to date information on canning, contact your
local US Government Agricultural Department
Extension Office or companies who manufacture
home canning products.

Cookware tips
• The pan should have a flat bottom, straight sides,
and a well-fitting lid.
• Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness)
cookware.
• The pan material (metal or glass) affects how
quickly and evenly the pan heats.
• When using glass or ceramic cookware, check
to make sure it is suitable for use on surface
burners.
• To avoid tipping, make sure pots and pans are
centered on the grates.
