Home Canning When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool. s Center the canner on the grate. s Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time. s For more information, contact your local agricultural department. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance. ELECTRONIC OVEN CONTROL A Cookware IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner. Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a well-fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness. Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or grates. Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the properties of aluminum. Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics. COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS Aluminum s Heats quickly and evenly. s Suitable for all types of cooking. s Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking tasks.
