A Penn State Extension educator will be available to test dial gauges for pressure canners at Brown's Orchard and Farm Market, 8892 Susquehanna Trail South, Loganville, on Friday, June 28. Testing will be available from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Dial gauges may also be tested on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Penn State Extension office, 1383 Arcadia Road, Room 140, Lancaster. Readers may call 717-394-6851 to schedule a Wednesday appointment.
The test is free and only takes a few minutes. Only the lid is needed for testing. New canners and new gauges should also be tested. Pressure canners with a weighted gauge do not have to be tested for accuracy, because they cannot go out of calibration.
