If you preserve food using a dial gauge pressure canner, it is recommended to test the gauge for accuracy each year. Now is the best time to bring your canner lid into one of our offices to have it tested to accuracy by our Nutrition, Food Safety, and Health Agent, Ashley Svaty, to help to ensure you have a safe home preserved product. If your dial gauge is not accurate, Ashley will help you adjust or replace your gauge to ensure you are safely processing. Overall, you don’t know how accurate your gauge is without having it tested. Testing is free. Just drop off your canner at any of our offices in Beloit, Lincoln, Mankato, Osborne, or Smith Center. Test your dial gauges now, before canning season begins!
