Can I get my pressure cooker tested? When and where? Thanks for a great service! jh
Answer(s)
A
Most of Cooperative Extension offices throughout the state will test pressure canner gauges. Check your local county office. If by any chance they cannot, we can request a neighboring county help out. Look for the phone number of your county office on http://extension.usu.edu or in your phone book.

Is this true?
