Neither of those look like they will stand a pressure cooker to me. Is there a plastic type written?

Started out with 8oz, they're a bit big but are great for growing out a culture to make a slurry. Bought some of the wee 4oz ones and they rock! Condensation clears up quicker, tighter seal on the lids, and are great transfer plates.

What is best way to clean out the discard containers? Does dishwasher screw the micro pore tape?

That's in the tek too. Scroll down til almost the end of the OP and you'll se it. That's what I do. There's no need for plain soap and water, let alone the dishwasher. You won't really need to wash them, ever. Unless of course you have some disgusting looking contaminated plates or in those cases where you let your plates dry the fuck up.

This is a great write-up. Thanks for all of the time and patience to do it. I love the bullshit list, because condensation is driving me nuts and I've been worried about it.
I found these in the US, but the price and quantities are a little wonky. https://www.berlinpackaging.com/29104-4-oz-natural-pp-plastic-round-containers-snap-lock-lid/?promo=shopping&gclid=Cj0KCQjwupD4BRD4ARIsABJMmZ-_Uniq_Up68iIV-6rjU_J4QouDgKP8obXMOMYuVOh842bS-KtVKDkaAuQSEALw_wcB
Anyone else have a solid lead on these in the US? Amazon has Vito's famous deli cups but I think the lids might not be PP5.

Thanks man. Be careful though, I clicked on that link and it says in the description that the lids are LDPE, not PP5. They'd melt on you.

Is there any new source for some of these plates? There is some on amazon that are very similar in 4oz and 2oz. Would a 2oz container work? It's 1.1 inches tall.

That'd be too small. Try eBay too.

I forgot about my plates in the PC and took them out to cool a little late and caused tiny bubbles in the agar. My question is can I resterilize them to get rid of the bubbles?

would these be okay? PP5 on the lid and cup, but the bottoms are slightly raised

I wouldn't buy those myself. Reminds me of some I got once that turned out to be some hot garbage. A raised bottom is not that bad, what I don't like about it is that the plastic looks very thin and flimsy, and I would not trust those kind of lids either.

Yeah looks very generic, that exact design is on there 50 times under different brand names.
These look good, just no PP5 logo but the description says Heavy Duty polypropylene and one of the Q&As says its PP5 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071177PN1/?coliid=I2GD25EO4HYQ6T&colid=1TB3ZA0LKOY2X&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

Have you tried eBay and Aliexpress? I don't like Amazon for this kinda stuff.

I have less luck on ebay. Nothing I can find there looks good. I've got the glad rounds though and may just go with those, but I'll need more if I have to do more than a couple transfers
These look good? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000346133440.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.6cbe2e0eCCpHTW

Someone linked me this TEK from another PP5 container thread. Hope it's ok to bump this
Just checking if you think these might be suitable? I know you mentioned avoiding raised bottoms, but these appear to have a raised circle in the base instead of being flat.
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/100ml-Plastic-Dipping-Sauce-Disposable-Small-Container-Cups-Lids-Takeaway-Jelly/392919544124
Unfortunately supplies are not easy to come by here in Australia and sometimes we have to make do with close enough alternatives.

They don't look bad in the pics. Containers with a flat bottom are preferable but you can still use containers with raised bottoms, no problem.
