Dial Gauge Pressure Canners should be tested for accuracy every year before canning. This will assure the gauge is accurate before pressure canning those low acid foods.

The process takes about 15 minutes per canner and is a free service provided by the Wildcat District to help assure the safety of your food.

Stop by the Altamont Extension Office located at 524 Huston Street on June 21 during this time to get a testing done, and visit with Family and Consumer Science Agent, Holly Miner. For more information, contact Holly at (620) 331 - 2690 or haminer@ksu.edu
