Home canning information To protect your range: l Use flat-bottomed canners/pans for best results. l Use the largest surface unit for best results. 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.
Hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven. This results in better baking. * Place the pans so that one is not directly over the other. 0 For best results, allow 1% to 2 inches (4-5 cm) of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls.
