Free Pressure Canner Testing

 Don’t forget to have the dial gauge on your pressure canner tested.  It is recommended to have this gauge tested every year.

The Winnebago County UW-Extension offers pressure canner testing at no charge.  Please bring your lid to our office between the hours of 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday.  When staffing allows, we can usually conduct the test while you wait.
