Pressure Canner Dial Gauge testing is offered Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. at the OSU Extension, Washington County office. Pressure canners with a dial gauge need to be tested for accuracy every year before you use them. Canning with a gauge that is off can result in the under-processing of home-canned foods, which is unsafe. Testing only takes about 5 minutes per gauge.

Drop by the office at 1815 NW 169^th Place, Suite 1000 ~ Beaverton, OR 97006. Calling ahead is helpful but not necessary. If you have questions, please email [email protected] or call 503-821-1150

Contact your local Extension office if you're in a different county.
