Is Your Pressure Canner Ready for Harvest Season?
Before you preserve this year’s garden harvest, make sure your pressure canner gauge is accurate. An inaccurate gauge can lead to unsafe food preservation. USDA and WSU Extension recommend having pressure canner gauges tested every year to ensure they are working properly and helping you preserve food safely.
WSU Extension offers this service at no cost. To schedule your free pressure canner gauge test, call either the Wenatchee office at 509-667-6540 or the Waterville office at 509-745-8531.
