Are you ready for canning season? Dial gauges for pressure canners need to be tested each year for accuracy. Gauges that read high cause under-processing and may result in unsafe food and risk of botulism. Low readings cause over-processing. Pressure adjustments can be made if the gauge reads up to 2 pounds high or low but gauges that differ by more than 2 pounds need to be replaced. Dial gauges can be tested on May 9, May 21, June 11, and June 27, 10:00 – 12:00 am for $5.00 at the WSU Extension office located at 1946 Third Avenue, Longview. For more information, contact Carlee Dowell at 577-3014 Ext 0 or DowellC@co.cowlitz.wa.us.
