How do you make get your agar to pouring temp?
    #26800229 - 07/02/20 08:05 PM (3 years, 6 months ago)

I love pouring agar (I actually do) But I dislike waiting for the pyrex to cool. I feel like I need to hover over it. And now I'm doing a few bottles at a time.

I know some of you heat it from a jelled state. I do not own a microwave, nor do I want to.

I was thinking of taking an inkbird controller and setting the whole PC I sterilized the agar with on a hotplate controlled with the inkbird set to 110f or thereabouts. I could just walk away and come back hours later and pour my plates whenever.

What do others do?

annoyed by watching a bottle cool.

Never tried it, but I'd imagine a sous vide could act like a stand-in hot bath to maintain agar temp until ready to use.

This seems suitable
"they typically heat to between 120 and 140 degrees F"

In a lab you would use a hot water bath. You can find them pretty cheap used sometimes on eBay.

The sous vide (not sure what it is) looks like your making a water bath.
Bodhisattva has a good tek that shows how to do without one.

The sous vide is pretty much a water bath. I set it to 125F and the agar will be the perfect temp when I take the media bottles out and give them a shake.
