Boiling plastic jar lids?
    #20277162 - 07/15/14 03:05 PM (10 years, 6 months ago)

RR said boiling contamed jars for 30 mins will kill contams. So can I do this with the plastic lids or will they get ruined? It isn't that big of deal because they are 3 bucks for 8 of them but still if they do deform they are going to be releasing those contams all over my house. Can't find anything on the search bar. Many people here use those plastics lids so someone outta know.

Thanks.

Thanks again cronicr. Much appreciated. :thumbup:

Wish I would have made more agar jars. I figured 8 would last a while. Apparently not. :rolleyes:

Your plastics will boil fine for sterilization, but you can also sterilize by soaking them in rubbing alcohol.

Its probably less effective, but it also doesn't take a chunk of your time:shrug:

Well I figured the agar will probably come out better if I boil it anyways. And 30 minutes isn't a big deal I'll just throw them in there and do something else for a while. But thanks this method might come in useful sometime. :smirk:

No you can't.....alcohol does not sterilize, it only sanitizes.

Chemicals sanitize, heat sterilizes.

Alcohol will sterilize if you soak something in it for long enough.

Only difference being the name of the process and legal definition of course.

Of course you can boil them. Mason jar lids are made to be pressure cooked. :thumbup:  Plastic or not.

Sanitization is basically sterilization by chemical process. Sterilization is by thermal process.

2 different definitions and processes for killing almost every single bacteria and microbe.

Same end result. For surface cleaning Anywho.

What do you think would happen if you just put some alcohol in a jar of sterile grains? or on agar?

If the alcohol could totally permeate the grains you'd be fine, hence "for surface cleaning Anywho"

I believe it was amanita virosa who did several experiments "sterilizing" a used plastic petri with IPA successfully.
