Pressure Canner Testing

Sarah Sowell, Ohio State University - Fayette County FCS Educator, in partnership with the Fayette County Public Health Department, will offer pressure canner testing on Wednesday, August 12, 2026.

Testing will be available from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm.

Testing can help identify a faulty gauge. This prevents botulism and helps ensure safe home canning.

Please bring:

  • Your pressure canner lid (whole canner is optional)
  • Any replacement parts you already own
  • Your questions about safe canning

The Fayette County Public Health Department is located at 317 S. Fayette St. in Washington Court House, OH.
