Re: How to prevent condensation in agar plates [Re: katbusa]

I'd second that the two most important aspects are: 
1 - waiting for the agar to cool a bit before pouring
2 - stacking the plates while they cool

One more piece I've found helpful is shuffling the stack. While the plates are cooling, every few minutes switch the ones on the top for the ones on the bottom. I guess the idea is that the slower the plates cool, the more time there is for water vapor to diffuse out.

If you leave the same plate on the top the whole time, that plate will cool fastest and be most susceptible to condensation.
