Pressure Gauge Testing

Did you know that your pressure canner gauge should be tested annually?

?

If your dial gauge is not accurate, it is not correctly reading pressure which may result in under or over processing and unsafe food.

?

Luckily we can check your gauge for you. Call the office to set up your appointment!

Consults are free of charge. You will need to bring your lid & pressure gauge with you. The FACS Agent will test your gauge and give you a diagnosis & recommendations, but we are not able to recalibrate or provide you with a new gauge if readings are inaccurate.
