Home Canning Tips — Canning should be done on cooktop only. In surface cooking, the use of cookware extending more than 1 inch beyond edge of cooking element’s trim ring is not recommended. However, when canning with water-bath or pressure canner, larger-diameter cookware may be used. This is because boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to cooktop surfaces surrounding the cooking element.
Questions and Answers 1. May I can foods and greser;es on my cooktop? A. Yes, but only use cookware designed for canning purposes. Check the manufacturer’s instructions and recipes for preserving foods. Be sure canner is flat-bottomed and fits over the center of the solid disk element. Since canning generates large amounts of steam, be careful to avoid burns from steam or heat. Q. Why does the solid disk element smoke when I first turn it on? A. This initial smoking is both normal and necessary.
