Warm weather is here and gardens are beginning to produce delicious fruits and veggies. Whether you tend your own garden or shop at your local farm stands, if you like to can, now is the time to get your dial gauge tested! Pressure canner dial gauges should be checked for accuracy each year. Proper pressure is essential for the quality and safety of canned foods.
Beginning June 8 for 2 weeks, Good Store invites you to come to any store location and get your FREE test by PennState Extension. Only the lid with the gauge is needed for the test. We are offering both drop-off testing as well as in-person testing. See schedule below:
Drop-off Testing:
1. Bring your clean lid to Good's Store, June 8-23.
2. Complete dial gauge testing form.
3. Pick up your tested lid later
In-Person Testing:
Wednesday, June 17 ( 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.) - Ephrata & Schaefferstown
Tuesday, June 25 ( 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.) - East Earl
If you are new to canning or need to stock up on supplies, check out our canning aisles in each store for jars, pressure canners, lids, and all the accessories you need. We also sell a good variety of products in the canning collection on our website as well. Happy canning!
