HOME CANNING
T~S
(continued)
Observe the Following Points in Canning
1. Be sure the
canner
fits over the center of the surface
unit.
If
your
range
or its location does not allow the
canner to be centered on the surface unit, use
smaller-diameter pots for good canning results.
2. For best results, use canners with flat bottoms.
Canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often
found
in enamelware) don’t make good contact with
the surface unit
and
take a long time to boil water.
Flat-bottomed canners are recommended.
3. When canning, use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures
are available from the manufacturer of your canner;
manufacturers of
glass
jars for canning, such as Ball
and Kerr; and the United States Department of
Agriculture Extension Service.
4. Remember that canning is a process that generates
large amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam
or heat, be careful when canning.
NOTE: If your house has low voltage, canning may
take longer than expected, even though directions
have been carefully followed.
The process time will be shortened by:
(1) using
a
pressure canner, and
(2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest heating
of large quantities of water.
