on 10/17/2009 My mom taught me to use a canner, its takes alot less time. I would like to try this way also. I usually use her stove when we can. I have a flat service stove and the eyes goes up and down with the heat. Maybe I can do my canning this way with my stove. I will give it a try at least and see how it comes out. Thanks for sharing this with me. I probably could can anything on my stove like this. Great! 5*
