Home canning information
The larger diameter of most water-bath or pressure canners combined with high heat settings for long periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop. To protect your cooktop: � For best results, use a canner which can be centered over the surface burner. � Do not place canner on two surface burners at the same time. Too much heat will build up and will damage the cooktop. � 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. � Refer to your canner manual for specific instructions.
Energy saving tips
Although the energy used for cooking is usually a very small percentage of the total energy used in the home, cooking energy can be used efficiently. Here are some tips to help you save energy when using your cooking product: � Use pans with flat bottoms, straight sides, and tight-fitting lids. � Cook with a minimum of liquid or fat to help shorten cooking time. � Preheat pans only when recommended and for the shortest time possible. � Start food on higher heat settings, then set surface burner control on low to finish cooking. � Turn on the surface burner only after placing filled pan on the burner grate. � Plan your meals for the most efficient use of the cooktop. � 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.
