    #5653627 - 05/20/06 03:13 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

I have a pressure cooker but unfortunately its old and broken so i have to resort to steam and microwave sterilization.
Any of you use microwave sterilization?

Thanks for that monstermitch

I have sterilized (hopefully) a 1/2 pint glass by steaming the substrate glass with bnoiling water for 1 hour and 30 mins (with lid on the pot with heavy weight on top to increase pressure).

I also sterilized (hopefully) a 0.6L container of substrate in my 800 watt microwave on high for 10 minutes in a shallow dish of water. I hope they work.

don't be expecting growth after 3 days. I would set a bar at around 10 days.

If it's before 10, good deal.
If it is after 3, you get worried.

If it is liquid culture, 3 days is fair, but not with spores.

yes, I would suppose so.

many people sterilize their jars in pots of boiling water.
just leave them in there for 1.5-2 hours.
