Woks
• Either flat-based or round-bottom woks with the
accessory ring can be used on all models. Round
bottom woks must be used with a support ring. The
Wok pan and the porcelain-coated cast iron wok
support ring must be purchased separately.
Canners and Stock Pots
• Select one with a base diameter that extends no more
than 2'' (51 mm) beyond the grate.
Standard Size Water Bath Canner
• 21 to 22 quarts (19.95 to 20.9 liters), with an 11'' to 12''
base (279–305 mm) and a 9'' to 11'' depth
(229–279 mm).
Standard Size Pressure Canner
• 8 to 22 quarts (7.6 to 20.9 liters), with an 8'' to 11'' base
(203–279 mm) and a 6½'' to 12'' depth (165–305 mm).
Canning Tips
• A flat base pan is preferred to one with a concave,
convex or rippled base.
• When using two canners at the same time, use
staggered burners. Do not block air to the burners. A
flame needs the right amount of air for complete
combustion.
• Use a cover on a canner when bringing the contents to
a boil.
• Once the contents have reached a boil on HI, use the
lowest flame possible to maintain the boil or pressure.
• Canning produces a large amount of steam. Take
precautions to prevent burns.

burners. There may
or may not be a change between the two burner settings.
The ExtraLow setting can be either a cooking or a holding
setting.
Raise or lower the flame setting gradually. Allow time for
the pan and the food to adjust to the new setting.
