A pleasant agar surprise
    #27085036 - 12/12/20 04:58 AM (3 years, 1 month ago)

So I made agar dishes for the first time yesterday. I sterilized the mixture in a mason jar with a lid modified in the same way one would modify a lid for a grain spawn jar originally for no reason other than, well I have a lot of those lids. The most common complaint I hear online when folks are discussing making their agar dishes is spilling when pouring it. That in mind, a thought occurred to me as I was preparing to transfer the agar from the jar to the dishes. Instead of pouring the liquid out into the dishes (55mm for reference), I used a 10CC syringe to extract the liquid and squirt it into the dishes. I had no idea if it would be too much or too little liquid, but it turned out a full syringe filled the dish to a PERFECT depth! No spill, and all my dishes are completely uniform. I was very happy (:

As if that's not extremely tedious. I would just learn to pour

I didn’t find it very tedious, but I was happy about knowing each of my dishes got the same amount of agar. I’m not sure how necessary it would be to “learn to pour”, because I’ve been pretty proficient at rotating my forearm since I was about 3. That being said this was my first time preparing agar dishes and subsequently I’ve never poured them, just used the syringe as aforementioned, so I could be wrong.
