Pressure Canner Gauge Testing
Pressure canners with only a dial gauge need to be tested annually to ensure dial gauges are accurate. If your dial gauge is not accurate, it is not correctly reading pressure which may result in under or over processing and unsafe food.
UCCE Master Food Preservers of Orange County recently acquired a device to test Presto Brand pressure canner gauges and offer free pressure gauge testing at our public workshops and events scheduled at the South Coast Research & Extension Center.
