CAUXO_
i:_:Safe canning requires that harmful
microorganisms are destroyed and that
thejars are sealed completely. When
canning foods in a water-bath canner,
a gentle but steady boil must be
maintained for the required time. When
canning foods in apressure canner,the
pressure must be maintained for the
required time.
>:After you have adjusted the controls,
it is very important to make sure the
prescribed boil or pressure levels are
maintained for the required time.
>:Since you must make sureto process
the canningjars for the prescribed time,
with no interruption in processing time,
do not can on any cooktop surface unit
if your canner is not flat.
