Pressure Cooker

Planting a garden can be more than just eating for the summer time. Preserving your fruits and vegetables can alow you to have home grown vegetables and fruits whenever you want them. This can be a fun project, but you want to make sure your tools are up to regulation to keep you safe. The USDA recommends pressure canner guages be tested regularly for accuracy.

The pressure canner lids with the attached dial guage can be brought to the Nebraska Extension Office (348 W State Farm Rd.) in North Platte anytime 9:00 am to 5:00 weekdays to be tested.  Canners will be ready for pick-up the following Monday. 

It costs $5.00 per lid.

Don't miss out on getting your pressure canner tested for accuracy! For more information or questions, call the Extension Office, (308) 532 2683.
