Home Canning Information To Protect Your Range: 1. Use flat-bottomed canners for best results. Do not use canners with dented or ridged (porcelain enamel-ware) bottoms. They do not make good contact with the surface unit and cause severe over-heating which damages the cooktop.
Baking or Roasting Setting the Oven Controls 1. Position the rack(s) properly before turning on the oven. To change rack positlon, lift rack at front and pull out. For information on positioning racks, see “How To Position Racks and Pans” on page 10.
How To Position Racks and Pans The rack(s) should be placed so the top of the food will be centered in the oven. Always leave at least IYz to 2 inches (4-5 cm) between the sides of the pan and the oven walls and other pans.
The hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven. For Best Air Circulation: l Place the pans so that one is not directly over the other. l Allow IYz-2 inches (4-5 cm) of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls.
Broiling Tips l Use the broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are designed to drain excess liquid and fat away from the cooking surface to help prevent spatter, smoke or fire. l Refer to a broiling chart in a reliable cookbook for correct broiling times.
