Past Events

  1. Canner Dial Gauge Testing

    Jul. 12, 2025 8:30am to 12:00pm

    Attention home canners… Dial gauge pressure canners should be tested annually to ensure accuracy and safety in food preservation. Over time, the gauge can become inaccurate, leading to under-processing or over-processing of food, both of which can be harmful. Testing ensures the canner reaches the correct pressure and temperature for safe food preservation. Pressure canners with weighted gauges do not need to be tested. You only need to bring the pressure canner lid with dial gauge to be tested.
