The agar boils over as the PC cools off. The extra water slows down the cooling. You want the pressure cooker to lose steam pressure very slowly. If necessary, turn the stove back on a few times as the pressure drops to slow down the process. This is usually much more of a problem with made in china pressure cookers that are very thin. The thicker AA models hold heat better. RR

before i get to pouring them i have a question, regarding the solidfication when pouring them, i assume you stack them and let them solidify in front of the flowhood without putting parafilm on them if you plan to use them that day? or should you cover them with parafilm regardless while letting them solidify?

Slip the plastic sleeve the dishes came in over the top of the stack as they cool and solidify. If you try to wrap the still liquid agar dishes with parafilm, you'll spill the agar out. I leave the dishes in the plastic sleeve for several days sometimes until I use them. I don't wrap with parafilm until after the dishes have been inoculated. RR
