Sterilization Q Regarding PFtek

i just watched the pftek videos posted here in the grow area to refresh my memory, and i noticed after they birthed the cakes after full colonization that they handled them very directly and had no concern of contamination. even the fruiting chamber they used was a tupperwear container with a hundred or more holes drilled in it, for air exchange, with no tyvek or polyfill closing/filled in the holes.
now i like the ease with which they are suggesting, but shouldn't there be more concern for conditions allowing contaminations? i've never seen bare holes left for the fruiting chamber, or dunking them in a large pot and rolling them with no sterilization method. i'm not doubting their knowledge, but don't most people usually at least cover the holes for their fruiting chamber?

They did say you can bake the verm before rolling if you wish.

If the cakes 100% there is very little risk of contams, however there are a few things you can do.
- Boild water and let cool before dunking, or buy distilled
-ALWAYS was hands
-Bake your verm on a cookie sheet
-keep a clean growing area
I only know this because i recently asked the same question essentially, and im a very anal person, i plan on doing these above steps.
Good luck!

Don't use distilled water for dunking. RR
