well... if your steralizing it by itself (which is kind of odd) just put in a tupperware and nuke for 4 or 5 minutes.
but i really have no idea why you would want to steralize it by itself?
your best bet is to prepare some substrate using the verm and whatever mushfood you want (BRF WBS poo, whatever) put it in your container of colonizing choice, then steralize the ENTIRE substrate together, instead of risking contamination by mixing after steralization (see why i thought it was wierd?)

If your gonna use the nuker be sure to add a little moisture to the verm first.

You can do it I'm sure. The hating the microwave for anything that has to do with shrooms is just a me thing.

I did my casings for 5 mins, then waited 10 and did 5 more mins... Took 3 hrs to cool. No contams so far Been 4 days or so and the mycelium is poking through about 10-15% I'd say. I saw the 5 wait 10 then 5 more in a tek... One of the casing teks... He recommends nuking them. Seems to work well.

You know ive never had anything but problems when using the microwave for sterilizing. You need two things to get rid of all types of contams, that heat AND pressure. The microwave doesnt give you both obviously. Im not saying people havent had success with it. But its better to just go down to the thrift store and look for a pressure cooker.
