Best way to sterilize disposable petri dishes?
    #19284203 - 12/16/13 02:28 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Hello fellow shroomerites!

Quick question for you all, what is the best way to sterilize plastic petri dishes?  I know... I should have poured all the dishes in the sterilized sleeve, but as they say, hindsight is always 20/20.

I tried PC'ing them for a short duration only to find out that they warped and melted by doing so.  They're clumsy and hard to use now since they don't close properly anymore. :frown:

I still have a few left that haven't been nuked, any tips?

Thanks in advance.  :takingnotes:

Thanks Cronicr, I was hoping it wouldn't come to that.  :frown:  Wanted to get started on a few dishes tonight. 

:holyshit:

Guess you can't polish a turd!?

I'm still ears if anyone has suggestions. 

Would steam sterilizing get me the results i want?  I'm willing to tinker with less than optimal petri dishes just so I can get some agar cultures going. :smile:

In the meantime, I just ordered more petri dishes.

I'll buy a few glass ones too, I figure they'll come in handy for situations like this. :frown:

Thank you all for your quick responses, I guess the general conscensus is to wait until i get more.

I have a few 1/2 pints as well.  But the lids are all moddified... I'll sterilize without lid and put inside of a ziploc.  Then I'll be able to open safely in my SAB and scrape my print over the agar.

Thanks for your input. :smile:
