Guys something really really odd just happened to me now. I mixed 12 grams of agar agar and 12 grams of Malt extract into 600ml of hot water. I pour the plates and come back later, i found that the agar was still liquid... i thought maybe still hot come back 20 minutes later and it was still liquid... I said wow ok something weird is happening and touch the liquid of a plate with my index finger and it was cold, not even warm, it was completely cold. This is the first time something like that happens to me. Why it failed to solidify? Seems really unnatural.

Have you made that same agar (brand of powder) in the exact same way before? I've heard but never chekked and verified that shittier agar brands must be boil to gel. I don't know though. I always boil mine.

I think that if they could manufacture these plates with PP7 plastic instead of PP5 (both autoclavable)... it would improve the visibility quite a lot.
I have a PP7 media bottle it looks clear kind of like glass.

Yea i just ordered straight from beebeecraft china store, little cheaper and they have coupons as well
Just noticed they extended their holiday till the 8th 
Sorry if i missed it but how do you clean these containers to reuse? I imagine they get scratched from taking slices and make it more likely to hide bacteria.
soak - rinse - dishwasher?

You're going to run them back through the pressure cooker which should kill whatever you're worried about
I just wipe them out with a wet paper towel or something, refill, PC and repeat

It's not like brewing alcohol, we arent sanitizing. Scratches dont matter. We sterilize. It's about temperature not contact. Coming from winemaking I had the same question

I find dog hair and shit in my agar/LC all the time. It makes it in there before I PC. It comes out sterile.

Happy culture in a holy-grail container on some dog hair agar (underside of container)

Just ordered 3 packs of these directly from beebeecraft. Was only going to do 2 packs but it was under the 25usd free shipping and only expensive courier shipping was available which would have been more than the two packs. Oh well, at least i have enough of these for a while I guess

These things are easy to mail also. I can fit 4 in a small padded envelope for sending oyster cultures!

Yep, they are deep enough (1 inch deep i think) to function sort of like slants as well. Just fill it with agar all the way up and it will last quite a bit i think. They will not last as long as a slant but they will last much longer than regular petri dishes for sure. So they are perfect for mail traveling.

I lay some paper towel over them until they solidify, put the tops on, flip the stack upside down and slide a quart jar over-top. then PC. I can only get 5 to a quart, but I'm loving these guys for anyone else using quarts to hold them in the pressure cooker.
The 1st time, I tried dropping them into the jar while still liquid and they sploshed around the PP5 container more then I liked, plus I cant get my hand down in the jar holdin one of these so I had to "drop" them in. Letting them solidify and then flipping them to load the jar worked great (*hope my description makes sense, I didn't snap a pic)

Great idea on the pseudo-slant use!

These pp5 large containers were spot on. 10 holy grail plates fits inside these large containers.

I will update the OP after testing them if they turned out to be good.
