For safe processing of low-acid foods such as meats, poultry, fish, game and vegetables, home pressure dial gauges must be tested yearly to ensure accuracy. The dial gauge should also be tested if it has been bumped or dropped. If the dial gauge is inaccurate by more than two pounds, Extension Professionals and the National Center for Home Food Preservation recommend replacement. If the dial gauge is off by two pounds or less, an adjustment can be made. Weighted gauges Do Not need to be tested.
