Using tupperware containers for Agar
    #23738782 - 10/14/16 11:09 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

Hey guys,

I thought I would start a discussion about using plastic take away containers for agar dishes. I would be interested in seeing what other peoples experiences have been with them.

I have been using them for nearly a year and find them a cheap alternative and they are also re-usable which I consider important in this hobby. The draw back I find is the lip on them is possibly a point for contamination due to the fact they trap water underneath. I am experimenting now with a different sort that have a more narrow lip that would hold less water. The picture on the right is the one with a narrower lip. Hope these Images work. :smile:

Those actually look pretty clear.

Where do you get them?

Do you do no-pour?

I just get them from $2 shops. They work out to be around 11 cents each. I'm sure you could find them on ebay.

Yes I do no pour which might be the reason I get a lot of condensation at the start. It soon gets absorbed by the mycelium though.
