Yeah sterilite lids would be a bummer. I got a flat lid for my SAB coincidentally and conveniently.

Was able to sit down and put some work in. Got all my transfers done.
this is a pan cambo plate.
Purple mystics finally doing something, not sure what to make of this plate. Picture isn't that great, we'll see what my transfer turns up.

And a shot of my PE plate. I'll try to update my journal tomorrow.

My bad dude they looked like petris at a glance but now that you say their jars the glass on the bottom is obvious. you shouldn't have to wrap them but those are definitely contamination around the edges. Are you tightening with the rubber side down? and do you wipe the top of you jar lids with an iso towel before screwing on and pcing?
Its all good, I am using the moded lids, white lids with polyfil and RTV. I just started wiping my jars before PC, wasnt doing it before. But like always when I reread TEKs and I see things I am not doing and have to address it to make it a habit.
Man I wanted to do some stinking transfers tonight but its late now, had an assignment do for school and it took WAY longer than I thought it would have. Maybe tomorrow I'll get some fresh agar poured. Seeing mush's new plates makes me jelly. hah
you shouldn't need to wipe anything before a pc cycle

not wiping provides a perfect pathway for contaminates to get into your jar if they manage to get on the rim

the pressure cooker kills contaminates..... you want to wipe them down before opening the jar not before pressure cooking

I just use the bottom of my SAB without a towel... I don't get why some people flip theirs

Myself, I like a level working surface. Also, I see a lot of people who keep a lot of petris and such stacked inside their SAB.

most totes are wider at the tops too. trapezoid shape. if you flip it you have more work space.
ps. wiping a jar before a pc cycle is pointless. im usually picking in my balls or my hands are dirty from food related prep so my jars sometimes come out of the pc with crusties on them. no issues. if you think not-wiping a jar is the reason for a contam, you need to dig deeper.. much deeper into your approach.

You still need to make sure there's not a nutrition highway under your lids or contamination will just grow right through
The threads have to be clean before cooking. Not iso wiped just clean

Yea I get that, I just thought he meant you need to sanitize the under side of your lids before sterilizing them

No just the inside and outside of the thread area where the lid makes a seal.
