Pressure canner testing is a crucial aspect of ensuring the safety and effectiveness of home canning processes. By prioritizing pressure canner testing, you contribute to the longevity and efficiency of your canning equipment while ensuring the health and well-being of those who enjoy your home-canned delights.

A proper reading gauge is the first step to safe canning. We test gauges, check seals, and overall canner condition. We are a wealth of resources and want to make sure you have the best tools at hand. Food preservation is beautiful, fun, but most of all, needs to be safe to consume.
