OSU EXTENSION MAHONING COUNTY OFFERS PRESSURE CANNING CLASS, FREE GAUGE TESTING
CANFIELD -- Ohio State University Extension Mahoning County is offering a Pressure Canning Class and Free Pressure Canner Gauge Testing on Friday, Aug. 7, to help residents safely preserve food and ensure their equipment is operating accurately. The Pressure Canning Class will be held from 9 a.m. to noon at the OSU Extension Mahoning County Office, 490 S. Broad St., Canfield. The class costs $10 per person, and advance registration is required. Participants will learn the fundamentals of pressure canning, including current USDA recommendations for safely preserving low-acid foods such as vegetables, soups, stews, and meats. The class will cover proper canning techniques, equipment, and best practices to reduce the risk of foodborne illness while preserving the quality of home-canned foods. Following the class, OSU Extension will host a free Pressure Canner Gauge Testing Open House from 1 to 3 p.m. Residents are encouraged to bring their pressure canners to have their dial gauges tested for accuracy. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends testing dial gauges annually, as they can become inaccurate over time. An inaccurate gauge may lead to under-processing or over-processing of food, potentially creating food safety concerns or affecting food quality. Class size is limited.
