Time to test your canner!

It’s very important that the method you use to preserve your food, especially canned foods, is done correctly to prevent spoilage.  If you plan on pressure canning this summer, be sure your pressure canner is in good shape and equipped to do the job.  If you have a dial gauge canner, it is recommended you have the gauge tested each year before use.

The N.C. Cooperative Extension – Clay County Center office can test your pressure gauge free of charge.  Call Kim Terrell, FCS Agent, at (828) 389-6305 for more information and to make an appointment.
