Pasteurizing hpoo in a sock with an electric kettle

I found an electric kettle designed to maintain a steady temperature of either 160F (for delicate tea) or 175F (for green tea) for one hour. This seems like a good way to pasteurize a small amount of hpoo stuffed in a sock, to later be spawned to a tray.
Would that be a good idea?
Which preset would provide a higher quality pasteurization, 160 or 175?

Id say 150f for an hour but 160f sounds about right.

I wouldn't use a sock or any other thing that would allow the transfer of moisture though because you will over saturate the substrate. Use a jar or an oven bag zip tied with your heat probe in it.
175 is too high for pasteurization, 140-150 is good, I run 145. You don't want to kill the beneficial microbes.

That's an interesting idea. It would require less wringing.
Some teks suggest submerging the hpoo in water inside a pillow case.

Yeah man try it the other way, it's far less hassle. No wringing required. I use my sous vide to keep perfect temp. I don't pasteurize very often but that's definitely the way to go.

So instead of a sock, I can soak the manure and strain it to field capacity and simply pasteurize it in a sealed half pint jar for one hour and the jar won't explode, it'll just transfer the heat to the hpoo and keep the same water content, canceling the need to handle it after pasteurization, to get it to the right water content? That sounds almost too good to be true! Have you used a jar before? What temperature were you pasteurizing at, and for how long?

That's what everyone's been doing for the last 20+ years. Jars or bags. No one does a pillowcase or sock unless they just dug up the 1995 growing guides

Just spray your sub with a spray bottle while mixing to get it up to field capacity, load jars/bags, run at 145f for 60-90 mins. Easy as fuck.
No the jars won't explode. Just cap them with tinfoil and make sure to run a thermometer or probe into one of the jars/bags, start your timer when the internal temp reaches 140, I hold my sous vide at 145.

I'm glad there's been advances in cultivation methods since 1995, bodhisatta. When searching for pasteurization teks, those old ones were front page, unfortunately.
That Dash Chef Series Stainless Steel Sous Vide, 8.5 quart, Temperature Control For Steak/Poultry/Seafood/Vegetables, coming in at a whopping $127.30 is expensive. Like what else can use it for, besides boiled meats 🤢?
There must be a cheaper alternative.
What else do you use it for p9hu7?

I use mine for thick steaks, pork chops and burgers, maybe a roast and the odd pasteurization.

Sounds easy and convenient, but doesn't sound as tasty as a pan seared steak.

You sear it afterwards, it's delicious. It makes the best burgers.

Yes, that does sound great. Getting the meat cooked all the way through without burning it can be difficult sometimes.
Anyhow, I just found a better alternative to the electric kettle I was looking at. This one is on $30 and has 140F and 160F presets that will presumably hold that temperature indefinitely.
It's called "HASAKIE 4.8 out of 5 stars, 2,297 Reviews Electric Kettle, Glass Tea Kettle & Water Boiler Variable Temperature Control Tea Heater with LED Indicator Light Change Auto Shut-Off, Boil-Dry Protection, Keep Warm 1.7 L Tea Kettle".
It's gotten many great reviews, and who knows, maybe, in addition to pasteurizing a jar of horse poo/manure, it can also partially cook a steak. I'm totally getting one.
