Show Free Testing Of Pressure Canner Gauges Some county residents are already busy canning meat, poultry, and beans( and soon fresh vegetables will be coming on. All these foods can be canned safely at home with accurate equipment and research-based guidelines. For safety in home canning, the dial gauge on your pressure canner lid should be checked each year for accuracy. (The dial gauge resembles a clock face with only one hand and has a moveable needle.) Free testing is done May - October by the Garfield County office of USU Extension. ' Free testing will be available on Tuesday, July 6, at The Stage Stop in Hatch, 4-6 p.m.; - 6; on Thursday, July 8, at Joe's Main Street Market in Panguitch from 12 noon - 1 p.m. and at the Antimony Community Center, 4-6 p.m.; and on Wednesday, July 14, at Cannonville Town Building, 4-6 p.m. Or you can come in for free testing at the Utah State University Garfield County Extension Office, 55 South Main, Panguitch upstairs in the Courthouse. Only the canner lid with dial gauge is needed for the free test (not the entire canner). Bulletins with current information infor-mation on food preservation and storage will be available (at cost) and a professional will be there to answer your food preservation questions. For more information or to schedule additional canner testing in your area call SuzAnne Jorgensen at (435) 676-1114. |
