[/expand][expand title=”Pressure Canner Gauge Testing
“] Whether you have finished canning winter produce or are gearing up for some summer canning, get your pressure canner lid inspected, which is a service we offer here at our office. Gauges that read high cause under-processing and may result in unsafe food. Low readings cause over processing. Pressure adjustments can be made if the gauge reads up to 2 pounds high or low. Replace gauges that differ by more than 2 pounds or follow your canner manufacturer recommendations. If you don’t have a pressure canner testing device, feel free to bring your pressure canner lid to our office (21017 CR 171 Angleton, TX 77515). We will gladly inspect it for you.
