MayI canfoodsand preserves on mysolidelementsurface units? A. Yes,but onlyuse containers designedfor canningpurposes. Checkthe manufacturer’s instructionsand recipesfor preservingfoods.Be sure canneris flat-bottomd and fits overthe centerof solidelement.Since canninggenerateslargeamountsof steam,be carefulto avoidbums fromsteamor heat. Canning shouldonlybe doneon surface units. Q. Whydoesthe solidelement smokewhenI firstturn it on? A. Thisinitialharmlessnontoxic smokingis bothnormaland necessary.A rustpreventativeis appliedto eachelementat the factory.Whenthe unit is turnedon for the first time,the coatingwill burn off the elementareas. This takesapproximatelyfiveminutes and shouldbe donewithoutany panson the element.Otherwise, thecoatingwillstickto thepan. Q. Whyis the cooktophotto the touch? A. Moreheatis transferredto the cooktopbythe solidelementthan by conventionalcoilsbecausethe elementis clampedsecurelyto the cooktop.This,of course,eliminates spil.loversfrom gettinginsidethe cooktopchassis.The secretto keepingthecooktopcomfortably cooleris to turn the cooktopon onlyafierthe cookwareand its contentsare placedon the element. Moreheatwillthenbe transferred to the cookwareandthe foodrather thanthe cooktop.In eithercase, however,the cooktoptemperature is wellwithinthe limitsset by UnderwritersLaboratoriesandwill not causedamageto the cabinets, countertops,cookware,dishtowels and othermaterials. Q. CanI use specia!cooking equipment,likean orientalwok, on mysolidelementsurface units? A. Cookwarewithoutflat surfaces is notrecommended.Thelifeof yoursolidelementcanbe shortenedandtherangecooktop canbe damagedfromthe highheat neededfor thistypeof cooking. Q. Whyis the porcelainfinishon mycontainerscomingoffl A. If youselecta heat setting higherthan requiredfor the containermaterial,andleaveit, the finishmaysmoke,crack,pop,or bum dependingon the potor pan. Also,a toohighheatfor long periods,and smallamountsof dry food,maydamagethe finish. Q. WhyamI overcookingmy foodwiththe newsolidelement? A. The solidelementis very energy-efficientand retainsitsheat muchlongerthanthe coilelement. Foodwillboilor fry threeto five minutesafierthe controlsare turned off. Werecommendthatyoubegin cookingat lowersettingsthanyou havein thepast and gradudly increaseor decreaseheatas desired. The energysavingsare significant. Q. Whydoesit tie along time to cookmyf~d? A. It doesn’t.The extratime it takescomparedto the conventional coilelementis measuredin seconds, notminutes.Thesefewsecondsare duetothegrea~rmassoftheelement. If the foodis cookingslowly,it is becausethepotsandpansarewarped or havean unevenbottomsurface. If flatbottompots andpansare used, cookingperformanceof the solidelementcloselyparallelsthat of the coilelementwithless energy consumption. — A oHome Cantiw mps Canning shouldbe doneon cooMoponly. — In surfacecooking,the use of cookwareextendingmorethan l-inchbeyondedgeof cooking element’strim ringis not recommended.However,when canningwith water-bathor pressurecanner,larger-diameter cookwaremaybe used. Thisis becauseboilingwatertemperatures (evenunderpressure)are not harmfulto cooktopsurfaces surroundingthe cookingelement. HOWEVER,DO NOTUSE LARGEDIAMETERCANNERS OROTHERLARGEDIAMETER UTENSILSFORFRYINGOR BOILINGFOODSCYT’HER THANWATER.Mostsyrupor saucemixtures—andall typesof frying-cook at temperatu~esmuch igherthanboilingwater.Such temperaturescouldeventually harmcooktopsurfacessurrounding heatingunits. ObserveFoMowi~Poinb inCami~ 1.Be surethecannerfitsoverthe centerof the cookingelement.If yourrangeor i~ locationdoesnot allowthe cannerto be centeredon the cookingelement,use smallerdiametercontainersfor good canningresults. 2. Flat-bottomedcannersmustbe used.Do notusecannerswith flangedor rippledbottoms(ofien foundin enamelware)becausethey don’tmakeenoughcontactwiththe solidelementandtaketoolongto boilwater. MGHT WRONG CAUTION: Safecanningrequiresthatharmful microorganismsare destroyedand thatthejars are sealedcompletely. Whencanningfoodsin a waterbath canner,a gentlebut steadyboil mustbe maintainedcontinuously forthe requiredtime.When canningfoodsin a pressurecanner, thepressuremustbe maintained continuouslyfor therequiredtime. Solidelemenfiheatup andcool downmoresIowlythan conventionalelemenb.Bwause of this difference,afteryouhave adjustedthe controls,it is very importantto makesurethe prescribedboiior pressure levelsaremaintainedfor the requiredtime. 3. Whencanning,use recipesand proceduresfromreputablesources. Reliablerecipesandproceduresare availablefromthe manufacturerof yourcanner;manufacturersof glassjars for canning,suchas Ball andKerr; and theUnitedStates Departmentof Agriculture ExtensionService. 4. Rememberthatcanningis a processthatgenerateslarge amountsof steam.Toavoidbums fromsteamor heat, be careful whencanning. N~E: If yourrangeis being operatedon lowpower(voltage), canningmaytakelongerthan expected,eventhoughdirections havebeencarefullyfollowed.The processmaybe improvedby: (1)usinga pressurecanner,and (2)startingwithH~ tap waterfor fastestheatingoflargequantitiesof water. —. —— —. — -. - Food RegularElement Completeat *tting Startat Setting Sensi-TemP~ Element Beveragm Cocoa 3-4-heat milk.Cover.
