Show me your AGAR no pour containers
    #24274360 - 04/26/17 08:13 PM (7 years, 8 months ago)

I use these from big lots to do all of my agar in the pressure cooker but I'm always looking for something better and easier to use, I'd like to see what everybody is using for their agar work  and hopefully a link or a store to buy them from

what a coincidence! I just fabricated my own screw top clear lid no pour today using cutouts of the lids from those containers you are using...


I am still using the ones you have for the time being though until I see if I like these better.

Just like the screw cap better I think.

I'm used to melting plastic to make random things and bonding two plastics together. I made this lid in under 3 minutes using a propane torch two different sized cans and my heat resistance gloved hands for pressing to bond the plastics together.

no glue or hole saws although i'm sure they would work too.

Anyway I've searched far and wide and these two seem to be the best solution.

^4 ounce jars. Or the classic half pint wide mouth pf jars for better visibility.

the 4 ounces are nice and compact. Think I might start doing half pints again though, the quilted surface on the 4 oz's really does suck..

I know you said pp5 but thought I'd throw these in the ring as they're all I use :yesnod:    (though I've tried plastic)

Not great for visibility, but otherwise awesome (will try pic later, mentioned somewhere in pasty huge thread).  From Dollar tree, 10 in a pack, little more than 2 oz translucent containers with white lids.  Punch hole in side rather than top.  Skip tinfoil.  60+ containers in a 16 qt pc.  No concerns over containers not sitting flat (like with tinfoil) as they stack nice and stable). Dime a piece and maybe 30-45 seconds of effort (punch ge hole, cover hole with micropore, load agar).

ball has those 4 oz jars without the crystal quilted sides but they are more expensive.

I like the extra room for growth with wider containers but those 4 ozers are really good for spore germ and xfers. As well as the 2 oz dollar tree containers frankn beans is using.

They'll still do fine noccing up grains I just like as much myc as possible to work with.

The kerr wide mouth 1/2 pints are pretty good too.

Whatever happened to those glad twist and lock 8 ounce containers the really teeny ones that have the twist on blue lids
They were super cheap I see them on eBay now but God they're like 10 bucks for three of them now

Yeah I found them super cheap like 10 cents each at grocery outlet but didn't have enough cash to buy them out.

Went back the next day and they were all gone.

I did use them for agar a couple times but I ended up using them as containers for brf cakes for slurry.

Still have a few I'm not using if you want some pm me. The sides are not very easy to see through is my problem with them for agar. I'm pretty picky about visibility though.

Can't beleive you found those.

I looked for hours the other day and a lot of that time on ebay looking for containers like that.

Wish they had it in more like 8 oz or something.
