Pressure gauge needs testing If you plan to can vegetables at home this summer, now is the time to get your pressure canner gauge tested. According to Extension Home-Economist Molly Saul, it is imperative that this be done at least once a year. This will insure accurate process ing time. Inaccuracies may result in food spoilage and-or food poisoning. Saul states the deadly botulinus poisoning is usually caused by improperly home-canned vegetables. According to Mrs. Saul, many pressure canners now have a weight on the lid instead of a gauge. In this case no testing is necessary. All non-acid vegetables. maate fich. nnH nnnlfrv must be processed in a pressure canner. All fruits, mmaioes and pickles should be canned in a water bath. Saul states that it is possible to can fruits in a pressure canner, but that the texture and appearance are better if they are proces sed in a water bath canner.
