looking to sterilize my petri dishes soon. is there an established tek out there for this? i've never done it before. unclear on how to properly store them after sterilizing and for how long i can expect them to stay sterile until i'm ready to pour agar.

Wait... I need to sterilize new petri dishes?

No, most all Petri dishes come sterile in packaging

@Belome I wrap mine in tinfoil, they also make very handy little tea canisters that fit plates well or the actual lab equipment meant to house Petri dishes in the autoclave, of course

Edit: I wrap in foil and then pressure cook at 15 psi for 25-30 minutes, to be clear

These plastic pickle containers work good for my holy grails.  Dont know if glass would fit  But maby.    Use foil for non pp5 lids 



Incase your interested in using some sorta container.
