Half pint jars with plastic lids for pf tek
    #26824850 - 07/15/20 10:20 AM (3 years, 6 months ago)

Is it a bad idea to use plastic lids on half pint jars for pf tek?  I’m planning on pressure cooking to sterilize not sure if they will melt does anyone have experience in using these?

Plastic lids will work fine so long as the plastic is PP5 plastic (ensuring they won't melt in the pressure cooker). Just look on the bottom for a recycling logo. The inside of the logo will say "5" and the below it will say "PP".

Just make sure the plastic lid has some way for air to get in and out so the lids don't warp from the pressure. Cut a hole in it and wrap in tinfoil, or if you don't want to put a hole, just unscrew it about an 1/8 to a 1/4 turn from the tightest position. Both these methods should prevent the plastic from warping.

After it is pressure cooked and the jars cool off, either remove the lid and directly inject through the dry vermiculite top layer, or if you made a hole in the lid, inject through the hole.

Make sure to use proper sterile technique and you're golden! :goodluck:

as long as they are PP5 plastic and have holes they will work fine like Rhizomorph said. also i am using all plastic pp5. they go in to pressure cooker too.

As long as you have the inner piece lid with the inoculation holes rubber side down to seal against the rim of the jar and of course the outer lid/ring to secure the inner lid in place. And you don't need to make holes in the lid it won't warp if it's a regular plastic lid for 1/2 pint BRF jar, I've PCd some of my PP5 white lids countless times and not one lid is even slightly out of shape, metal lids warp much more IME. Tho I can imagine that the clear thin, flimsy plastic that PP5 containers are made from isn't nearly as durable.

Thanks for the input I inoculated 8 jars last week, getting ready to knock up a few more sometime in the next few days. I got two jars showing mycelium colonization but the rest have no signs of it yet. Hopefully They aren’t stalled or contaminated
