alternative to canning jars.
    #16818567 - 09/09/12 05:24 PM (12 years, 4 months ago)

Hello everybody,

I'm growing some magic mushrooms for the first time and am ready to start buying my supplies. I live in England an can't find the canning jars anywhere will these be ok? They are cheaper than the bonne maman type and not as big. They are wider at the top.

Thanks

As long as they are able to withstand the temps of pressure cooking anything will work.

340g. They are closer to the half pint suggested in The Magic Mushrooms Growers Guide than the bonne maman 370g. I can make adjustments in adding the water, vermiculite and the brown rice flour.

The ones here are American half pint which is 8 fluid ounces and this converts to 237 cc's

Any container stamped PP5 can withstand the heat and can be pressure cooked.
