Home l l l l l canning information Use flat-bottomed canners/pans for best results. Some canners have ridged bottoms (porcelain enamel-ware) and are not recommended. They do not make good contact with the surface unit and cause severe overheating which damages the cooktop. For best results, use the largest surface unit. Also, use a canner/pan which can be centered over the surface unit and which does not extend more than one inch outside surface unit area.
