Can you Sterilize disposable petri dishes in PC?
I read somewhere to be carefull how you bring the PC up to operating temp/pressure to prevent them from boiling over. what is the 'right' way?

Depending on the plastic they will probably melt. They should come pre-sterilized though. Just pc a large jar with the agar in it then poor the agar into the pre-sterilized plates in a clean area.

No. They're disposable. And this is not advanced.

so you're telling me agar questions go in cultivation? what noob uses agar? don't be a dick...
in fact, i know there are ways to do this i,e steam sterilizing for 90-120min... or a level three germacide for cold sterilization.... i am learning through experience and experienced both of those recently... i just wanted to know if anyone had PC'd them, would be much easier, but i see now the plastic melts. they are disposable, yes, but so is a water bottle and they get re-used all the time

The short answer is no. The longer answer, really is it depends on the plastic they are made from. Most disposable petri dishes are made from Polystyrene which becomes malleable at 85C or 185F so they are not suited to pressure cooking. If you find a "disposable" petri dish made from another material that can stand up to the temps... please let everyone know. They are not sold under the label of "disposable" though.
If your looking for an easy agar solution I'd look at this from Pastywhyte

Noobs use agar too And it isnt a noob question your right but there isn't a retarded forum you can post this question in Disposal Petri's are one use, you could probably clean and dry toilet roll but why the fuck would you want to

Yes, agar questions go in cult. If you read the description of this forum you'll see that it's supposed to be for experimental stuff for the most part.

thanks 36troll5, for being so encouraging and such... you sound like you need to get laid... too bad theres not a dick you can grow for you to ride on... is there a forum for that? ya mealyprick....i dont need an english lesson on the meaning of disposable...
everyone else 'preciate the input, i read pasty's tek awhile ago, and theres an exception to every rule, including the 'disposable' one...as seen in pasty's tek. pretty sure those are semi disposable plastic containers too...
as for cleaning a toilet roll i think that is cyans and azurescens....retard. not where i am going with this..... clever tho, very clever. bet your mom is proud of you everytime you come up from the basement for a juice box. lol lolto bad your not a MOD, 36troll5, you would be giving the shroomery a pleasent community atmosphere and encouraging the betterment of science hobbyist everywhere.....
oh and ps...if reusing 'disposable dishes' isnt experimental idk what is YOU PREBUESCENT Fuck...go run your dicksuckers elswhere Mr. Fabulous wannabe MOD, your TC tag doesnt give you the right to bash peoples ideas and act like you invented the wheel. go fuck someone elses goat, god knows your wife is tired of it lol lol

I did search 1, 2 and a few more after that....
i found that most people do not, tho it is possible. i wasnt asking if they were meant to be re-used I was asking if any one has had success in cleaning them with a level three germacide or a steam bath (though a steam bath is beyond the 1eighty5 farenheit melting point of this specific plastic... also my plates are polypropylene... i said that in a previous post.... they can be microwavable.... didnt realise polystyrene was standard. that is junk plastic. idk why you would use those...they break easier than glass. this thread is turning into a CF you didnt even read my post..... regugitated info is not what i am asking about... i am asking for real tangible experience... has anyone cleaned them and reused them,,,,, simple question on an advanced topic. sorry if reading is over your heads, but dont assume it is over mine.... have been around here 2003, this is my second acct....the last one i lost password too in hiatus.... so yes. i have used a search funtion. i can even spell google without looking at my keyboard! :P so wtf shroomerites. when did you all become so much more 'headierthanthou" ?? in the time it took you to post a smart ass remark like this you could have read the question and realised i already said the dishes a PP plastic not styrene.... and that a level three is my goal... again looking for informed input, not a smartass remark from a regurgitator......

Where did you say there were PP? Don't see it anywhere in this thread.
Ive never seen a PP petri dish advertised as disposable.
If they are PP, clean them, wrap them in foil and PC them alongside your agar.

Yeah they are definitely reusable.
It's best to sterilize the petris and agar separately then pour afterwards, people pouring then sterilizer are typically using much deeper containers.
Stack them up and wrap them tight in foil to keep them sterile when you move them from PC to your clean area.

Polypropylene might be able to be PC'd depending on how thick they are. They'll warp if they're too thin. You also won't be able to see in them worth a fuck either way. So if you're trying to isolate you're just gonna have to make a guess and then open the plate for longer to make sure you got your wedge.
But this still isn't advanced. It fits in with the other threads here but they don't belong either.

yes please keep us updated on this. Those pictures look like polystyrene because the plates are crystal clear. Once I purchased electrical tape and it came in a circular little pp5 container that looked very much like a petri dish. They weren't very thick but were still a translucent whitish clear - and I think that is just how pure polypropylene is. I PC'd them with no problem but not being able to see inside them well enough was more trouble than it was worth so I stopped using them.

They're not petri dishes but they sure look like them I cook them straight in the pressure cooker they work fantastic I do put a small hole in the top and cover with micropore tape before I cook them up

There was a guy recently who bought PP petris and did a little write up.
Only downside I can think of is they are small, 50mm while most disposables are 90. Which is adequate 90% of the time considering many people use 90mm dishes with 3 or 4 segments and they will probably cloud a bit with use which isn't the end of the world, if you get 3 or 4 uses out of them, you have saved money over using disposables.

I've got 4 cases of pyrex petri dishes(48) And tried various no pour TEKs
And I still go back to using 100x15 disposable polystyrene dishes. 2-3$ for a sleeve of 20. Can prep agar sterilise it cool it down and pour a sleeve in a SAB very quick and easily.
Last link in my signature first link you find there.
All the agar work I have ever posted was done in a 66quart tote SAB
Doing pour agar is as easy as ramen. Im mind boggled at why so many are adverse to doing agar especially pour agar

Your sterilizer/PC uses more energy than the mass produced petris. Let alone the water and detergent used to wash them out

Perhaps, but energy can be made from a range of sources - some bad, some ok. That plastic will not decay for a very long time and a good deal of it will eventually end up in natural environments like the ocean.

My PC uses less than a kW to hold 15 psi, and sterilizing petris does not take long at all.
Compare that to the 15 minute detour the courier van has to take when it delivers me a box of disposables and you're already using 10x that in fuel alone, nevermind all the shit that goes into making the petris, the cardboard box they come in could come from a factory 100 miles away, as could the sleeves, labels and so on.

The fact you have 24 posts generally says your a noob, peitri dishes are used by many new cultivators. Bottom line this thread belongs in general cultivation. Again proving my point mods need to change advanced to a minimum post count to start a thread.

The ones made of HDPE or polypropylene can be reused, the ones made of polystyrene cannot be reused easily and are truly disposable. Disposibles are best when doing a lot of agar work at once to save you on prep time. They are normally processed using gamma irradiation instead of heat.

in fact, i know there are ways to do this i,e steam sterilizing for 90-120min... or a level three germacide for cold sterilization.... i am learning through experience and experienced both of those recently... i just wanted to know if anyone had PC'd them, would be much easier, but i see now the plastic melts. they are disposable, yes, but so is a water bottle and they get re-used all the time
The fact you have 24 posts generally says your a noob, peitri dishes are used by many new cultivators. Bottom line this thread belongs in general cultivation. Again proving my point mods need to change advanced to a minimum post count to start a thread.
dear hall-monitor:
the fact that you guys think life begins at the shroomery tells ME that you have not much REAL education. i have a degree in biology and conservation sciences... i have more lab time than i care to share... why is it that folks here think they are so special? i thought these forums were about discussion and sharing thoughts and knowledge... 24 posts means nothing. i have seen people here with thousands of CRAP-facepalm posts... post count doesnt mean anything. 6 years of secondary education does however... i have been on this site since 2003. made an acct back then but forgot the password lol.... so now i have this one... i am admittedly new to making my own agar..
you may be a teachers pet crybaby mu-fucka but you are welcome for the link to reusable petri's.... if the mods want to move this they can. it wont bother me. which brings me to my next point..... if you are so experienced why arent you a mod mr post count extraordinaire? answer me that. if you were you would have moved it instead of calling your mommy LLUULLZZ :p
in fact, i realize now this should have been in agar and cultivation... i was under impression that 'NOOBZ' use pf lol. i did.... IN 2003.... once or twice but that was it. coir or straw since then... i just cant get over ya'lls attitude. whats ya'lls deal? you may be experienced in THIS FORUM, i would advise a trip to the outdoors and some human interaction... seems like ya'll could use the experience....

Funny thing even the recluses of mushroom cultivation spend more time outdoors than 95% of the population because they're looking for mushrooms.
We have attitudes coming here for free helping people to grow better and produce as much as possible for their efforts. When the people in cultivation make you type long winded posts about how much everyone sucks... Time to take a look in a mirror.

lab time yes. not much culturing tho. just getting my feet wet with mycology though. i have sterile tek and mass spec experience... many techniques actually i am familiar with, tho like i said not much culturing, and most of what we have at the school labs were glass, so no i havent ever used crap styrene dishes before... i knew ya'll prolly had.... sometimes it helps to talk stuff out loud with others and you find your own answer... turns out none of you have experience with the same dishes i have either... your welcome for thos btw.... polyprop dishes are different.. so, actually i feel like i was in the right... they say microwave safe, but thats different than a PC//// so self-righteous this group here... not impressed.... but its ok. wondering why you all take so much time to berate people new to YOUR forum tho... were you mistreated as children? lol.....
and again...mazda has been here for 3 MMONTHS, and TC (lol at naming himself that but doesnt truly have the tag: poser.....) has been registered less than three years lol. ..... i been reading and practicing here FOR 12 or 13 YEARS, but yes, agar in my kitchen is new to me lol.... i hope the mods do find this and shit this down... its not fair or welcoming of these three fucktards, who are just as new as me here, to be condescending and crying about thread content when they have no stroke at all here.. kinda gives the shroomery a bad rep in my eyes....but you three are nobodies just like me, only i dont have a bad attitude, maybe yall should eat a mushy or two and look inside. just bullies think i will block ya'll///// that way i dont have to listen to dickdrips blabbering....

This. If you wanna play the reg date/post count/TC tag, I win in all of those. I've been actively growing that long too. And I think your idea is crap. It doesn't belong anywhere near advanced mycology. Stop claiming that you have lab experience, because IN THIS CONTEXT, YOU HAVE NONE.
Those plates will either warp or melt. They're called disposable for a reason.

i admit my agar experience is nill, however my contribution here has been the polypropylene dishes. reusable plastic dishes to the best of my knowledge are nowhere mentioned here on shroomery...
i only bring up my education and somewhat limited experience in lab procedure because some in this thread assume that my post count indicates i know next to nothing. i also realize and admit above that i realize now that this was not an advanced myc topic, for that i appologize...i incorrectly assumed agar was an advanced procedure... but the "holier than thou" attitude dont fly with me. we are all on the same trip here, and at some point you all were new to agar or anything else... i imagine there was a day for each of us when we were even learning how to walk and talk, so no matter where you are now you had to start somewhere. if your parent had talked shit cause you were a stumbling toddler you likely would have apprehension on trying publicly. i dont claim to be an expert, but i do provide respect to those that deserve it, and expect the same.
it was a dumb question i guess... but it lead us to the discovery that i had different dishes than all of you use. they said you could microwave them but i wanted to know about the pressure of the PC... so ifeel it was relevant, though wrong forum. again: my bad, didnt mean to get your panties in a wad... just trying to try.... not that i asked any of you specifically, you chose to post in this thread. way i see it, ya'll being shitty for no reason. but whatever. doesnt matter really... now you know about new dishes, goes to prove even mistakes in the the lab, or on the forum, can lead to learning experiences.... fuck post count reg date and tc tags who cares about that. its about respect and love for the great spirit and the mushy collective to me... ya'll folks could use a chill pill
wtf

No i joined in 2003, take a look. And i dont have a degree in bio but i have hundreds of hours of sterile lab time from over a year of full scale gourmet mushroom production, i also have produced more mushrooms than most have seen in there entire life. You should watch who and how you address others, i might not be a mod but i would have been willing to help as i have countless others. But this isnt a pissing contest, this is a noob thread put into the wrong forum and what seems to be a troll. Re using dishes is a waste of time and a pain in the ass. I have glass dishes and tried using them and now went back to using disposables.

This does prove a point about mods and TC's, Gr0wer is by far one the most helpful, knowledgeable, and successful growers on all of shroomery. Not to mention his contributions to this site and you tube as well has inspired countless people to start small business's with plenty of advice to back it up.
Gr0wer, do you realize how many people are building or have built your steamer?
Anyways, sorry off topic of this thread, but when I read that comment about why he didn't have a tag I had to laugh at how absurd it was saying that to Gr0wer. Get this dude a TC tag, I know we are not supposed to nominate people, but we really need an active TC in the Gourmet forum.

i give respect where it is due, i respect experience, and treating others with respect. sorry i got pissed when rando-36wtfe started talking shit. and sorry for posting in the wrong forum...thought this is where agar went. never used a pc for agar before...now i have. no thanks to anyone here....
as far as dishes being wasteful i respecfully disagree... personal opinion. i like them they provide better visibilty than other pp5 teks.. but whatever. i got attacked and attempted to defend myself but i am the troll? whats up with that? what happened to the shroomery i never read anything likethhis anywhere...
sincere appologies to grower, but 36fuckins and whoever called me a troll can piss off. grower maybe read this entire thread and see who started the trollin'. again: sorry for wrong thread. hope this gets deleted. but your all welcome for the pp5 dishes....

Pp5 dishes have been around for a long time. As well as flint glass and pyrex glass dishes,
The pp5 dishes were often marketed by nalgene They're not super clear, they suck
I have cases of pyrex petris I never use, they suck too

I regretted buying glass dishes as soon as I bought them. You need 50 or 100 to do a good run of wild clones and a case of 500 disposable ones is $80.

I haven't tried mine yet gotta work my way through the remaining disposable ones first On inspection of these they are very translucent 100% more than the generally used little tubs people normally use my only complaint is they're not very big but that's not such an issue they come in a pack of 100 which is good for 20 odd pound. I don't know how well theyll stand up to PC cycle yet whether they'll be cloudy warped or indeed perfect but once I get to them I will report back O.P. forgetting all the negativity in this thread these do look good so I do thank you for the link

I told you your dishes aren't reusable and that you posted in the wrong forum. I'm not writing you a novel about that. If you don't like clear, concise answers then IDK what to tell you. You chose to take offense to that. Then you come swinging your dick about having lab experience while having none.
Figure it out yourself.

I believe it was through a search on this forum I learned of pp5 dishes. They said how small they were. Also some discussion on warping during pc.i think they used a shot glass to press back to shape. Even so I got a pack to try off eBay. Cheap enough to dispose.
