Like I could use an empty Kraken bottle?
It's better to find one with a long neck. That way you can keep your hands(possible contam vector) farther way from the agar being poured out.

I bought me a pyrex media bottle to cook my agar in. I think it was about $20. I know it's not necessary but when I put on my lab coat and use my pyrex media bottle I feel like a real scientist!

So is it improbable to use these petri dishes since the package was opened? The petris themselves weren't opened, just the plastic sleeve they came in.

You can at least use them to practice your agar prep and pouring technique. Then just let the petri dishes sit for a few days and see what happens. Maybe you'll get lucky.

I was anxious about this new agar recipe and didn't want to open my sterile 25 pack on untested agar.
I ended up testing it with a fresh piece of tissue from a wicked PESH.

just dropped it in within my SAB to see if it would work. This is 2 weeks later.
I guess the recipe is good! and I have my first clone. I figure I'll scoop it out with an innoc loop and knock up a few dishes and grain jars.

Lol i know! I was going to pour and chickened out on opening my pre sterilized plates.
i have tons more medium but only one sleeve so i figured I'd see if it would harden and grow out some myc before I commit to pouring plates.
