no pour agar jars. ok to remicrowave to level out the agar?
    #23651339 - 09/16/16 07:27 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

Between my stove being slightly uneven and also my seperation things.  I forget what they are called, the aluminum tins that come with the all American. Anyway. It's gotten a Lil buckled over the years. So by the time my agar cools some of the jars are slanted. Can I just microwave on agar level surface agar that point agarts it's sterilized and it will reform nice and level?  I have plastic lids. Would they melt in microwave?  I would think I'd have to nuke it long. Just curious on your experience and such.

It didn't seem like it'd be an issue to me.  You're only remelting (supposedly) clean agar to level out and letting it harden again. 

Though I'm not sure what a pasty plate would do in a microwave.  Why don't you try it and let us know?

i had that happen to me. :facepalm3:

i found the titled plates kinda pooled the MS at the bottom but gave me
a decent amount of clean areas to cut from towards the top.

sorta like the S or Z pattern but all waterfall like. i should of taken a pic or two. :ewaahh:

Don't you have to take the foil off or it will fry you wave? That then becoming a vector?

Being slanted is fine. Microwaving plates can be good to get rid of excessive free water in the jars. When you microwave a plate you usually get one spot that heats up and melts while the rest is all still set. You can swirl it around and the free water mixes with the liquid agar and resets. You can end up with uneven looking plates though as not all will have melted.

you can melt it all of course, with small plates and high power you risk it suddenly bubbling up and/or blowing your lids off. To effectively reduce the power you can stick a bowl or cup of water in the microwave at the same time. In the majority of microwaves lowering the power does not actually lower the power evenly/steadily, it just cycles the power on/off so you get bursts of full power.

The foil comes off after it comes out of the pressure cooker anyway

These are half pint wide mouth masons with plastic lids. I got them from pressure cooker while still liquid and set them to cool on a flat surface

The cd's are cool, you get the prism effect or whatever.

I've never actually tried the foil in the microwave but it seems like a bad idea.

these are the USDA guidelines for using tinfoil in the microwave.

Is it safe to use aluminum foil in a microwave oven?
Always consult the owner's manual of your microwave oven and heed the manufacturer's recommendations for the use of aluminum foil. It can be safe to use small amounts of aluminum foil in a microwave oven.

Microwaves cannot pass through metal but are absorbed by food. No food completely covered by aluminum foil or in a covered metal pan should be put in a microwave oven because food wouldn't be available to absorb the microwaves. Operating the oven empty or when the food is completely wrapped in aluminum foil can cause damage to the oven and the food won't heat.

However, small pieces of aluminum foil can be used to "shield" areas of foods, such as poultry drumsticks and wings, to prevent overcooking.

Some food packaged in foil containers can be safe to microwave. Read the package heating instructions to see if the food manufacturer has specific recommendations for microwaving the product. Because food in these containers will only heat from the top, it's best to microwave foods only 1-2 inches in depth so food near the bottom will be heated thoroughly before food on top dries and overcooks.

General Rules for Safe Use of Aluminum Foil:

  • Use new, smooth foil only. Wrinkled foil can cause arcing (sparks).
  • Cover no more than 1/4 of the food with foil.
  • Shape the foil smoothly to the food so no edges stick out.
  • It makes no difference which side of foil (shiny or dull) is facing out.
  • Do not place the foil closer than one inch from the oven walls.
  • If the microwave oven has metal shelves OR a metal turntable, don't microwave food in foil containers or metal pans, and don't let foil used for shielding touch or be close to the shelves or turntable.
  • If you see arcing (sparks), immediately remove the foil shielding; transfer frozen food from foil container to a microwave-safe utensil.





Many people are totally clueless about how to use microwaves. I used to give people more credit and thought they have been around so long that it was more common knowledge about how to use them. But in other threads I read about people burning their mouths and having half frozen dinners, if you are that fucking clueless then best avoid using them for any mycology stuff as you are bound to fail miserably and might be a danger to yourself.

So are you saying it's ok to microwave a pasty plate with aluminum foil?  I don't get your point.
