The K-State Research and Extension Wildcat District is offering free pressure caner testing for local residents.

Dial-gauge pressure caners should be tested annually to ensure safe food preservation. K-State Family and Cosumer Science Program Assisitant Debbie Steed says testing takes about 15 minutes and is available for several pressure caner brands.

The service helps ensure caners are operating accurately.  Testing will be held June 15–17 in Independence, June 29 in Altamont and June 30 in Fredonia.  For more information or to schedule a different testing time, contact Steed at (620)331-2690.
