The Cooperative Extension Service is offering free testing of pressure canner dial gauges weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. throughout the summer at the Extension Office located in the same building as Fish and Game on K-Beach Road. Gauges can be tested on or off the lid of the canner.
It is important to have pressure canner dial gauges checked annually to help assure home canned food is safely processed. Pressure canners using weighted gauges do not need to be checked.
For more information contact the Cooperative Extension Service Office at 1-800-478-5824.
