Stainless steel:
Recommended
Aluminum:
Heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues sometimes appear as scratches on the
cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned immediately. Because of its low melting
point, thin-weight aluminum should not be used.
Copper bottom:
Recommended
Copper may leave residues which can appear as scratches. The residues can be
removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned immediately. However, do not let
these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops. An
overheated copper bottom pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain
the cooktop if not removed immediately.
Porcelain enamel-covered cast iron:
Recommended
As long as the cookware is covered completely with porcelain enamel, this
cookware is recommended. Caution is recommended for cast-iron cookware
that is not completely covered with smooth porcelain enamel, as it may scratch
the glass-ceramic cooktop.
Glass-ceramic:
Usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Stoneware:
Usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Home canning tips:
Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.
Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. These are available from
manufacturers such as Ball
®
and Kerr
®
and the Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
To prevent burns from steam or heat, use caution when canning.
