Test your dial pressure canner gauge

The USDA recommends having your pressure canner gauges tested annually. Testing your pressure canner will determine whether it is functioning properly and will help you produce safely preserved food.

Pressure canners with a weighted gauge do not need tested for accuracy because they cannot go out of calibration

Another option to get your dial gauge tested you can send it in to Presto (https://www.gopresto.com/content/canning)
