Refreshing to see someone use the ziplocks without complaint. Tbh everytime I "pop" the lids off my rubbermaid containers I just imaging the suction pulling in all kinds of contams even though I'm in a SAB

I ended up going out and getting some of the glad minis.
Just to make sure I don't crush em like the petris I did earlier, I PC these at 15psi (for 40min) right? or is it a lower psi considering the material of the mini rounds?

The tek calls for potato flakes, are these bought or made? Everything makes sense besides that. I have agar picked out on amazon, and plan on picking up the mini rounds tomorrow. I'm just confused about the potato flakes! I've tried searching the thread and the site. I just need an answer!

Yo. Took me a while to find the right potato flakes too. Alot of them have additives and stuff in em. I finally settled with the potato flakes from the Red Mills brand because the only ingredient is dehydrated potato flakes.

I have attempted and failed at this once, and I was wondering, if I am using a premix agar powder, do i need to bring it to boil in water before pcing? I did not boil the first time, just pc'd

so I just found out that the preroll joint containers we get at the rec shops are pp5 and would work for slants, kinda thin but they'll work. should I filter these like pasty plates? I don't want them collapsing.

I always just throw every thing at once bring to a boil make sure it's mostly dissolved and karo at the end. Even ran a test without the karo and that worked despite the contams due to not waiting long enough after misting my sab. Moral of my story is these things are hard to duck up even used potatoe flakes that were left open for months at least 3 or 4 so if you're are getting contamed then it has to be your technique of they are getting crushed it has to be the has exchange hole. A side note the agar reliquifies inside the pressure cooker so it's almost like your boiling it for the 40 to 45 minutes.
Many thanks to pasty Again your the shit for this tek!!!

Worth a shot, what I would try is close the lid but not snap it down, cover with foil and snap it after you take them out by pressing down while the foil is still on.
