It is critical that people who practice processing and preserving foods at home have access to the research-based information concerning quality and safety of food.&nbsp; Types of food preservation include: refrigeration, freezing, dehydrating, and canning.&nbsp; For the most up-to-date information on home food preservation, contact your Family &amp; Consumer Sciences educator at the WSU Colville Reservation Extension office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommends having dial gauge pressure canners tested annually. If the dial gauge on your pressure canner isn&#8217;t working properly, you could be jeopardizing the safety of your canned product. WSU Colville Reservation Extension offers free gauge testing and inspection of your pressure canner. To schedule an appointment, call the office at 509-634-2306 or email <a href=\"mailto:kayla.wells@wsu.edu\">kayla.wells@wsu.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"792\" height=\"594\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/70\/2018\/06\/Omak-003-792x594.jpg\" alt=\"People looking at a food dehydrators.\" class=\"wp-image-228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/70\/2018\/06\/Omak-003-792x594.jpg 792w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/70\/2018\/06\/Omak-003-396x297.jpg 396w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/70\/2018\/06\/Omak-003-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/70\/2018\/06\/Omak-003-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/70\/2018\/06\/Omak-003-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 792px) 100vw, 792px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Reservation Residents Learn about Dehydrating;
