Home canning information
l
Use the largest surface unit for best results.
Also, use a canner/pan which can be centered
over the surface unit.
l
Start with hot water. This reduces the time the
control is set on high. Reduce heat setting to
lowest position needed to keep water boiling.
l
Refer to your canner manual for specific
instructions.
Positioning racks and pans
For baking/roasting with one rack, place the
rack so the top of the food will be centered in the
oven.
