- WALMART - ask about canning stuff, if he gets curious, tell him about the salsa that your friends love that you make. also, while your there, i love the jar fillers they got, they look like funnels and they make your moms carpet stay clean!

Also the Ziplock or Glad brand plastic 1/2 pint round containers (which say they are microwavewable) work well, even in the PC. They have to say on the package they are the mocrowaveable kind though.

Thank you so much spudz76, the shop that sold me my first canning jars had closed down and couldn't find them anywhere! Had thought about plastic jars but didn't want to risk it, Thank you again from both my children (not human and me!

A thread mostly about plastic containers
There are quite a few happy people in this thread who used them, and you can see some examples and tips and such, and more info. It seems they are available at almost any store, even some gas stations. Amazingly easier to find than "old school" (I guess) glass canning jars.

Hey, I got mine at Wally Mart too. They do carry the Ball wide mouth which is exactly what you need. Getting them online will cost you more for shipping than what the Jars cost. If you have a Big Lots around I think they carry them as well.Anyways GL.

Well you can use whatever size/shape seems to be good for you, based on how many you could fit in your PC/steampot/incubator/fruiting chamber... The rectangular ones work best for "invitro casing", but I used the round ones and made more like cakes. Probably you will want something reasonably tall, I got half pints and they seem a bit short to use with a dry verm layer (if you use a tyvek filter, then probably they would be a nice size), but would make for a decent single-flush minicasing I guess.

I have a solution, buy glasses. You can get tapered glasses everywhere. Here is a tek which shows the use of a glass aswell as a jar. I have never used a jar.

yeah i agree glasses work just aswell, I use little glasses and use a dry layer of verm at the top as a filter and then just tape some aluminium foil around the top. Then just piece through the foil to inoculate and then just place another layer of foil on top and leave this layer of foil on loose so a little air can get in.
Its worked well for me and I havent ever had a contamination problem using this method.
