Question on first growth

I am looking to try and start my first grow soon but before I order some spore syringes I would like to ry and get al the right equipment. I do not have a pressure cooker but do have a vegetable steamer and was think I could use this to sterilise my substrate jars of germ and rice flour. Does anyone know if this will/will not work. And will vermiculite and brown rice flOur be the best substrate to try a first grow or should I use something else, such as popcorn. Thanks for any help

BRF/verm is awesome, you'll love it. Do it like RR does in his videos: http://mushroomvideos.com/

Okay thats good news any idea how long I should steam them for I have been thinking around an hour and a half at least. I'm excited but also very anxious as to how this may turn out. I have watched all of RR's videos found them very helpful. Also would rolling and dunking or casing be best for first time growth?

How long did RR say to steam them? Did he say to dunk and roll, or not?
Do it like in the videos, no foolin'. Exactly like RR does.

If you have watched the videos, then you would know that he covers steam sterilization. "steam sterilize by bringing to a full boil for 90 minutes. Once the water boils, reduce stove burner to a lower setting, but make sure the water continues to boil and make steam" The videos, in addition to a million post on here, also includes Dunk And Roll which is fine for your first grow. Keep reading..

90 minutes is good. Dunk and roll and birth as cakes.

Although he doesn't mention a vegetable steamer I Unsure if it was the same thing, it's been a while since I watched them and intended on watching them before I even thought of starting the proccess. It was just a confirmation
