Tek question
    #28027796 - 11/01/22 12:55 PM (2 years, 2 months ago)

This is my first time using the tek method. I just saw a post with step by step instructions and they have it placed on foil on top of the vercimite. I dont have a barrier ( foil) under mine. Do I need one and why?

I am guessing you are talking about PF Tek. There are lots of "teks" out there, basically it's just slang for technique.

It is best to have a foil barrier underneath your cakes, but it is not truly needed.

1. Without the foil, your cake is able to absorb moisture directly from the vermiculite/perlite. You want the vermiculite/perlite to provide moisture through increasing the humidity, not by saturating the cake.

2. Without the foil, any bacteria or molds that are present in the vermiculite/perlite would be able to begin colonizing the bottom of your cake.

Is it to late to put foil under? Been 2 days.

It sounds like you just made PF jars?

The foil for the top of the jars prevents water dropplets from getting into the jars during steam sterilization.

They're talking about placing foil under the cakes while in the fruiting chamber.
