PC vs Boil Question

So, I plan on trying out some of that alien substrate that I mentioned in my last post. I'm just wondering though, someone mentioned in another post that you CAN'T boil grain jars, that you need to PC them.
Is this true?
I can't boil my alien substrate jars to sterilize them?
Incase you need to know, the ingredients are as follows:
3/4 cup of quinoa (health food store) NOT GROUND UP 3/4 cup long grain brown rice (grocery store) NOT GROUND UP 3 cups spring water 1 1/2 cups vermiculite (Wal-Mart) 1/4 cup finch seed (measured before grinding) 1/8 cup flax seed (measured before grinding)
Anyway, thanks for help in advance. - Silven

That post was absolutely correct, you'll be riddled with contams if you try to boil it to sterilize. If money is a problem, you can get a pretty cheap one at wal-mart for like 23-30 bucks.

This may sound really dumb considering i'm coming up with it very late at night/early in the morning, but has anyone tried sterilizing jars (probably BRF would be best) by placing the jars in a big container with water in it and then just microwaving it for a couple of minutes?

You don't want to put metal in a microwave. Not good. Makes sparks. Fire hazard. Many deaths.
George, I hate you. I'm trying to quit smoking cigarettes and I won't smoke anything until I've quit.
I wanna be high, too. Maybe I could make some cannabutter...
