Making Jelly
Got a question that might seem dumb but can I use a pot with a non stick
surface for making jelly? Seems that I am under the impression that it can't for some reason but wanted to make sure before I made jelly soon. Thanks in advance. |

While admittedly not the same, I use a non-stick-coated dutch oven for making my fruit butters -- and they'll still burn if I'm not Ever Vigilant! (A timer, set for five minutes, helps me out!) -- -Barb, <www.jamlady.eboard.com> Sam I Am updated 6/20/04. |

I went from a standard stock pot sort of pot (a trifle heavier than lighter) to a saucepan with a very heavy bottom. I thought it would simmer more evenly or something. Turns out the heavier pan kept the heat longer, even after I took it off the fire. I think a lighter weight pan would heat up lots quicker and maybe burn. A thought anyway. I have so few I can't afford to waste them. Edrena |

Stainless steel outside and inside with a carbon steel layer in the walls and an aluminum sandwich in the bottom. Takes and hold heat readily but is easy to control the jelly in if you take the time to learn how to use it. The other is a thin wall and bottom stainless stock pot of about two gallon size and very tall. The thin walled pot has lead me to burn jelly more often than the thick walled one. Never thought of using a teflon lined pot, probably because all the teflon pans we have are skillets. I don't see why you couldn't make jellies and jams in any pot you have as long as watch your product, check the temperature regularly and stir when needed. I cook on an electric stove and have learned when and how to cut the heat back to maintain the jam pot, the BWB, and the pressure canner. Easy to remember as I wrote it all down, CRS you know.
