PC'ing agar in jars

I have read that some people use 1/2 pint wide mouth jars and fill with a small amount of agar as though it were a petri dish. I am wondering if it is possible to mix the agar and pour a small amount into wide mouth 1/2 pinters and pc the mix, then allow to cool and use as needed?! I am wondering if this is an acceptable process to prepare agar medium which could avoid having to do a transfer of agar from a bottle to the dishes (which is just another chance for contamination) I appreciate any and all feedback! Thanks given prior!

Has anyone tried skipping the simmering step and combining ingredients right in the jar and letting the PC melt it all together?
Imagine there could be some inconsistencies depending on how things naturally mix. (no stirring)
